New processing of Pickering's Triangle

I got to looking at the earlier image and found there was a lot of color anomalies around stars. I had not noticed this as I was not looking at the pixel scale too much. So I decided to see if I could get the color on the object without the excess color around the stars and I came up with this.

I would love to hear how you guys feel about the change.
Thanks

larger version here so you can see deeper into the image.

By colour around the stars, do you mean the large electric blue haloes which were there before and are now quite a bit subdued? I like this version better. I think a slight decrease in overall colour saturation would make it look even better but maybe that is just me - or my monitor.

Lovely, Floyd!

Nice Floyd. I like it. Processing seems good. I kind of like the rich color saturation on this image, but that may be a matter of personal taste.
