Now that is incredible.

The Helix looks so angry. Its like a giant eye like something out of the Lord of the Rings.

Tom,
Really nice capture. I like the "Stars Corrected" version best.

I was just glancing through the thread, but didn't catch the RBG filters you are using. Which are they? You seem to have gotten the internal Teal color pretty close - did you have to adjust for that color, or did it come from calibrated processing?
