Oh my Sweets! The Last picture there is awesome. It's incredible how 1 nebula is usually so close to the next! With the colour contrast of the 2, beautiful!!!!!! How I wish I was there.....

horsehead with background colour balanced and curves readjusted. not enough exposures to bring out the details.. a little grainy..

prefer the first version of M42. The second one is over processed, a little "Lodrigussish". No offense on him, but do hold it back a little, otherwise it would become like a painting already. A little excitement on triggering heightened saturation levels would be a whoosy.
