These images I see elsewhere often look over-processed but you manage to get the balance just right, fantastic.

Thanks for that Mick. It's only lately i've discovered that less is more with these images.

That is an absolutely stunning image Richard well done. Can I ask what software do you use for image processing? Is it difficult to get all the detail in the core area without it being washed out

Thanks. For image acquisition i use Sequence generator pro. For stacking i use Deep Sky Stacker and for processing i use a combination of Pixinsight and Photoshop.

For the core here i captured 20*20 second subs and blended it in using layers in photoshop.
