Hi Martin,

There is a lot of layer masking involved to bring out the nebula, TBH it’s not that difficult.This was my first time ever imaging this nebula.

Fab image Carl..

Love the mono capture, it really brings out the fact that
it is a big cloud of dust and mono really shows that..
Again fantastic image.

Cheers Roy

Thanks Carl. I'd very much appreciate any advice or a link to a tutorial if you have the time.

Beautiful image Carl. Well done.if that's your one night effort can't wait to see your final image!

Hi all,

Thanks for the comments lads. Martin sorry for my late reply as I’m just so busy at the moment. Have a look at this tutorial by Ken Crawford www.imagingdeepsky.com/Tutorials/Masks/Masks.htm It will give you a great understanding into the process of layer masking. I’ll also be happy to answer any questions you have. Again sorry for the late reply.
Carl.

Only see this now.
Carl, that's excellent!
