This is the second process, as the first rush job last night was terribly red. Stacked and processed today with Deep Sky Stacker and Photoshop elements.

Fair comment.

I got another 2 hours worth of exposure on it last night and added them to the 80 minutes.
A bit more natural and smooth I think.

Beautiful work as always Baz! Nice close look at the interior detail.

Nice work, there is a lot of signal and low noise (for the second one, the first is too noisy - maybe jpeg artefacts ?) , but too red i think !

Gday again guys. I think it's finally done!

An experienced astrophotographer and friend of mine here in Canberra, SteveC gave me a good portion of his day today, to teach me some of the finer points of processing. My problem was mainly the color balance functions of the editing programs, of which I was fairly ignorant.

I am still working out some issues with flats, so these dont have flats applied, but I am so much happier with the result anyway.

My plethora of TECHNICOLOR Rosettes, my almost BLACK Carina and my AWFUL RED AND YELLOW Horsehead, with the new techniques applied, have all turned out much more natural looking.

Take a look toward the bottom of my page at the second gallery. Thanks Steve!
