Truly superb Peter - full congratulations to you. Simon

Hi Peter, You really have an artistic eye or something. The large increase in gradations now shows up so much more colour range, something I wouldn't have considered needed doing, and definitely something I wouldn't know where to begin. Hopefully as has already been mentioned on the forum, you're considering submitting this and others to APOD to add to your previously published ones. Looking forward to more from you, the imaging wizard. best regards, Ray

Thank you Ray and Simon, you are both very kind, I could see there was more to the data and so worth another go. Plus I had recalibrated my monitor since my first process. Ray I have sent both M45 and Rho Ophiuchi into APOD but I dont think it will get anywhere there are so many submissions its like a lottery.
