M44 - Work in progress?

I haven't posted anything new in a while because I've been processing quite a backlog of images taken since January. Problem with me is, I consider so many images a work in progress, I don't know when to say "finished!"

Anyway, submitted for your approval as to whether to go back and call this finished or not:

Here is first decent light for a new (to me) Takahashi FSQ-106. It was shot with an SBIG STL-6303 camera. This is 12 x 15 second unguided exposures through each filter (LRGB). It's been cropped and reduced 50% to highlight the central bright stars.

Enrico,
Very nice! I like the colors and the stars look great.

I'd say this one is pretty close to declaring "finished".

It looks finished to me. Those star colors are wonderful!
