- AKA "The Wall" -

Hi all. I have been very busy lately and the weather has not cooperated, but I managed a little imaging time last night. Here is a first cut at processing this image.

Tyler,

I love the crispness and contrast of the details. Color-wise, maybe a touch or bias towards magenta?

Thanks for the comments Eric and Klaus. I appreciate the input. I agree that the color balance was too far toward magenta. I am reworking the image and I will post the results when I get something that I like!
Cheers,
Tyler

Very nice and contrasty shot Tyler. Well framed as well.

Best,

Hi all. I tried reprocessing my recent version of the Wall, paying particular attention to star color and keeping the overall nebula color from shifting toward magenta. Here is the result. Let me know if you like the results better or not.
Cheers,
Tyler

Woops - I posted the wrong image. Here is the right one. Sorry.
