Helix Nebula

Hi,
I have been working on some new techniques for processing in CS2. I have reprocessed my Helix Nebula.
Give me your opinion as to how you like this method if you would be so kind.
The sky was dark for some reason with this picture. Must have been a dark sky?

Hi Floyd

Can you share the new method

And maybe post the before shot

The image looks great

Hi Floyd,
Hey that looks great!Your skill processing gets better with every image.

Maybe you had a night of exceptional transperancy when you shot this.I always like it when that happens

My only suggestion would be to take a look at the color balance,most shots I have seen of this have a bit more red in the outer nebula and a bit more blue on the central area.
Maybe it needs a bit more Green?

Congratulations on your new camera too,the DSI 3 looks like it should be a good one.

Very nice! I like the colors. Maybe there is a little
saturation (over exposure) in the region at 7 o'clock,
but does not really detract or anything.

Looks great Floyd! congrats! 8)

Great Image!

Looks great Floyd.

What filters were used? I know I have an image of the Helix and my center is much the same as yours. Other have had more green content in the central color. Apparently much can depend on the RGB filters.
