Hi Erik,
Nice data.
I hope you don't mind?
I boosted it with LAB colour.
Is this better?
There seems to be a population of yellow & blue stars.
I thought globs were mostly yellow?

Not at all Allan, that looks much better, I thought it may have been lacking a bit of colour in the stars. I think they are mostly yellow, however contain a few blue stars.

ps - what have we done to get four consecutive clear nights here in Gippsland?
Thanks, yeah I know right, the weather has been pretty unstable recently.

Hi Erik,
it's amazing what a little boost of LAB colour can reveal that's hidden in the data.
James Dunlop was the first to see this object, from Parramatta in 1826. He didn't know what to make of it.
The longest description in his catalogue was his description of this object.
"Dunlop 67. A star of the 6th magnitude, with a beautiful well-defined milky ray proceeding from it south following (SE); the ray is conical, and the star appears in the point of the cone, and the broad or south following extremity is circular, or rounded off. The ray is about 7' in length, and nearly 2' in breadth at the broadest part, near the southern extremity. With the sweeping power this appears like a star with a very faint milky ray south following, the ray gradually spreading in breadth from the star, and rounded off at the broader end. But with a higher power it is not a star with a ray, but a very faint nebula, and the star is not involved or connected with it: I should call it a very faint, nebula of a long oval shape, the smaller end towards the star; this is easily resolvable into extremely minute points or stars, but I cannot discover the slightest indications of attraction or condensation towards any part of it. I certainly had not the least suspicion of this object being resolvable when I discovered it with the sweeping power, nor even when I examined it a second time; it is a beautiful object, of a uniform faint light. Figure 2"
Nice quote Glen. Added a repro version, using Allan's tip with the Lab Colour. How does it look? Is the bright star too blue? Background is a bit smoother I think.

Looks a lot better Erik,
I used a partial mask on the background & the bright blue star -
when I boosted the colour -but it wasn't really necessary.
I love LAB mode now - you can boost colour without changing brightness.
You have great resolution on that glob & an image to be proud of.
Nice Target Erick, your 2nd is much more dynamic in my eyes, the colors are much betterra, particularly the stronger golds, I think golds in Globs realy set them off, A beauty of a repro
