Cheers Ken Regarding the colour, you could be right but it looked pleasing to me and remember this was compiled from almost entirely narrowband data so there is only so much a magician can do
Mike
Yeah, true Mike. I know nothing about narrowband or how it is meant to look
Excellent, a new image Migel thank the Gods...
This is really something else big fella!
I hit the 50%... in your face.. I went out a bit to get most of it in and it does really look stunning.
Some beautiful detail and I also love those faint wisps of reflection?? that are waffling in the centre.
The rgb data does I think do a great job with the 'more conventional' look to the stars. But the narrow band just adds so much more... and makes most Rosettes I've seen look... mmm, just plain beige!

Ah Richardo, cheers mate, tis so gratifying when an image is enjoyed so much, really makes the effort worth it, like giving a chrissy present that is well recieved, just makes ya feel good
Cheers Mike for all the processing detail. I'm becoming less of a Photoshop guy day by day, but really appreciate those insights and of course the general principles still apply whichever tool is used. I shudder to think exactly what I did on some images, so glad to hear the pros resort to plenty of "Pro Hart" at times too
Nice pic Mike, I love the animals you found! Maybe the IAU will accept these names.
Greg Bock may have found a coupl'a exploded dots, Steve Crouch might have revealed a vague cluster hidden behind some dirt and as for Mr Lovejoy, well how boring , meeah pfft!...."I" have found life out there!
And here I was thinking that the horse head was the only one. I bet if the red curtain extended towards the reflection nebula you would see his body and legs too!
