Another image from last night. I wanted more L and was waiting to get it tonight but the clouds rolled back in, so here it is.

AP155, f/7 & ST-10. LRGB = 60:30:30:30m.

Cal,
Both shots are great. The color processing is very well blended. Keep 'em coming.

Nice M78 Cal. It's a tuff one to process isn't it?

Here's mine ---

Outstanding shot Cal! You don't need more luminance. Add more RGB if anything. More color will give it more richness, staturation and "color" detail. This is a very blue rich area so your color balance is close to perfect.

Best,
