Thanks for looking Trevor. I like to add as many details as I can for each image, since it also helps me remember.

Hi Steve, thanks. I'm still experimenting with the processing myselfm but I'll be happy to help. Take a look at the following site: http://starizona.com/acb/ccd/software/ps_hargb.aspx . I'm basically using the Starizona method 2, then adding the orginal RGB stars back on top for better color.

Mike 3 cool pics, really enjoyable to look at (they're all well balanced). Nice work, Marc

Excellent work Mike. I would say the nebulous region in the center is perfectly resolved and the color is spot on. I have seen several images of this that I find too heavily processed. That is not the case with your image. I'm counting down the days until the CLS clip comes in. I'll warn you and others that I will be picking your brains on processing Ha images!!
