Wow that’s beautiful. Those colours are fantastic and wonderful detail- really stunning well done!!
I can see you’ve done quite a bit of star reduction to emphasise the main targets - my personal choice would be to let them shine a bit more if it doesn’t detract too much but it’s always a balancing act cause they can overpower the whole scene very easily

That's excellent Mark and especially so as it's RGB from Bayside. Near the bay?

Thanks JA, yes, about 1 km from the water.

Fantastic effort Mark and well done on getting this quality out from your location.

Love the oxygen rich area around the Trifid nebula!

Just a tip for what it's worth - I'm in Bayside too and to get considerably darker than homebase I go to Ricketts point Mentone. I don't think it's possible to get much darker than that in Bayside.
