Nik, one question. How do you get the subtle green when you process your NB images? I've yet to figure out that.
Thanks!
Tom

Hi Tom.
You can use the Selective Colour tools in PS or Affinity to do that. In the case of this image, the nebulosity in NGC 3324 at upper left seems to be emitting a slightly different colour to the Eta Carina Nebula , at lower right. The Selective Colour tool is really good for isolating these colours and subtly enhancing them.
Cheers,
Nik

Hey Nik, that is REALLY great! Is the data going to be available as a bundle?? I'd REALLY like to try processing this one!
Wonderful Image!!
Tom
