9 Hours M20 reproduction-much happier (I hope).

I hope I have done this amount of data justice. Full use of lights darks flats and bias darks taken with W/o 110 and stacked in DSS and processed in photoshop. 5 minute subs.

The first image is the original and the second is the reproduction.

Comments welcome.

Mark.

Colour is spot on in the new version, can't really tell much more in a critical sense with that size image though...but it looks to be quite a good'un

While the neb looks better I feel you've blown your stars out too much.
When you do your stretch in curves, make sure the right side of the curve is a straight line to the top of the graph.
