I revisited my Cocoon data that I took in June. I reprocessed the mosaic and thought it came out better. There's lots of dust up there causing a slight red shift to the star colors.

Looks pretty cool Tom. I vaugely remember the first process - seems like you made the dust a little more evident.

A wonderful image. I love the star colours and resolution. Almost a trademark of your images.

Greg.

Nicely done Tom - Was there something specific you did differently, or did you just appoarch the whole processing task fresh?
