Thanks all for commenting. This is the result of me testing and learning the ins and outs of the new mount. I have subs that place the nebula in the top part of the sensor and others that place it to the bottom. When I stacked this "stew" of subs in DSS I had it set to "Intersection" mode and after much processing (and help from this forum) this was the result. Thanks for looking.

Ha! Basti taught me that trick, to process the nebula so it looks like it is watching you. Now put on some pants already!!

You know...where ever I move in the room...I get this creepy feeling that your nebula is watching me...
