Hi Greg,plenty of detail in your image but the colour seems to be off(probably due to the Ha I think)
Anyway one thing that Warren Keller showed me was that If you only use your camera software for capture and combining your colour, then throw your image into PS and use curves to stretch It. That way you can keep a good colour balance and keep the histogram from clipping. You'll end up with a very balanced and please image for something that only had basic processing. Greg If you havent seen It already go to Warren Kellers
web site and check out the PS tutorials.

Cheers


Louie
