I finally got round to processing this seminal and famous nebula, which has fascinated people for years. Out of the data provided I used 12 Has at 15 minutes long each, 14 OIIIs at 15 minutes long each and also 6 blues, 13 greens, 6 reds, 18 Has and 23 OIIIs, all at 10 minutes long each. Thus the integration time was 17.5 hours. Enjoy your Sunday and thanks everyone. Simon [Below the first image is a slightly less sharp one - I could not make up my mind].

Now that is very good!

Nice clean image Simon  with a great shell but I reckon there is some data left to tweeze out of that image yet you know! Its P12 so super clean data, so you can proper "push it" as Salt n Pepper once said

Salt and Pepper eh? How about Cinnamon and Cumin? If you want to give me an idea about what aspect of the image can be slightly pushed, I will try. I dropped off the lightness of the main core to try and keep it looking natural and not overpowering. One of my big things is not overly saturating and processing images because I do not like them looking like they have been stuck onto the background, for example, or being too garish. Also, on this largish monitor of mine, I do not like pushing stuff too far, because this screen will pick up the noise and graininess. Anyway, thanks for your comment, and if you let me know, I will give it a whirl. Si   :  )

I must be showing my age with Salt n Pepper lol like you I dislike garish over saturation not to mention over sharpening Simon.  Ask Mike, as I berate him constantly behind the scenes as well lol It was more a reference to the hidden data that was still in the image and me encouraging you to go find sort of thing lol . There is no better way to learn than be pointed  in the right direction and let loose to discover for your self ? also as a side note, your monitor must be pretty good as yours colour balance is good but is it calibrated ? if not it’s a 1000% the biggest tip I can give you  ? I suppose a better phrase would have been “nudge” rather than “push”
