Hi Mike, great Ha contribution, very deep image with all emission nebula popping out
About colors, it is always a difficult topic, almost impossible to have everybody on the same side I too find the image a tad too magenta, however this is a matter of personal taste and doesn't take anything to the beauty of this picture. I find also that most of your images tends to be more magenta than (for example) mine, so either we both need to check for color blindness or simpler we are both right in giving our personal interpretations

A great image overall, up to your standards!

Thanks Marco, glad you liked it (mostly)
I have to say though, I actually thought you would find it ok . When I look at your recent images of Eta Carina and The Running Chicken for eg, there is little difference in our vibrant colour balances. There is some suggestion however that the area around the Swan may be more dusty and hence slightly redder and thus less magenta than the Eta Carina and Running Chicken areas but yes, it's interesting...In relation to the correct RGB "look" then Hydrogen nebulae are mostly magenta rather than true red, due to the HBeta influence (which is blue), it is the degree of saturation that is perhaps in question here?
Ok, on to the Chamaeleon Cloud...now that's not Magenta
Very nice mike. Been away from forum on leave for a while so just cathing up on the images.
I hear you about the seeing. Imaging from back yard in melbourne is pretty orninary. But we live with what we have and the images you ar eputting out despite this are awesome.

Thanks Chris, you will be AG'ing the sky too pretty soon I guess?...and likely longing for dark skies too but hopefully your seeing is not as bad as mine
another fantastic image, great detail and I like the colour you have shown
When you think of the images you are producing and you don't have a permanent set up, it is quite amazing

Hey thanks guys, glad you liked it. I've been playing around with it for some time now...fills in time while I can't get out with the scope
AG is shipping next week apparently. So we will see soon enough.
i was at the Orion Optics factory this morning , saw your scope....nice and shiny you will have a lot of fun with that.
sorry to go off topic.......nice shot mike, worth saying twice i think :-)
