Horsehead, Again!

Hi All,
Since we are under perpetual clouds and rain here in Southern California (no end in site!)and I had to stay home from work with a sick child, I decided to reprocess my Horsehead image. This time, I ran it through the "Minimal filter" only once, controlled the star bloating a little better, and used a sigma combine to combine the image. The result was a little better detail and a more "natural" looking shot, at least to me anyway. Let me know what you all think...

Nicely done!
Looks better to me Don!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Don. I paged back and found your original post, and I do think this is an improvement. More subtle details can be seen in this image. Nice work.

Hi Don, I think this is better. Nice job!

Thanks Guys,
It's amazing how, you can work on an image for hours, think you got it,then when you revisit it, it takes all of 20 minutes to improve it! lol Now, could some one tell me how to get rid of the clouds and rain?
