Hi all, I have been working on my last images and am wanting some input. I tried a lot of techniques on this photo and this last one I would like opinions about it. Good or bad, not a problem, just want opinions.

Floyd,

I think you did a great job on the image! The Flame looks awesome.

I'm not an expert, but the nebulae look pretty
good to me. The bright star has a lot of extra
stuff around it thats a little distracting, but
not quite sure what you can do about it -- probably
something in the optics. What scope is this --
the 127 ED? Is there some filter in or near the
CCD camera?

Hi all,
well, I gave a good try at making Alnitak look a little more normal. I don't know if there is much more that can be done to improve it.
I added color to the lower nebula as suggested. A little more to the Flame too.

Floyd,

Both versions are pretty nice, though I really like what you did with the rework! Great job!

Eric
