Nice image Bob. I think it could accept a bit more stretch.

Both images are nice, and I agree about stretching. And maybe increasing some green and blue compared to the red. I don't know what the "proper" ratio would be with using H-a for red, but it sure does bring out the nebulosity compared to stars.
