Beautiful image Olly, the nebulosity could be mistaken for brush strokes

As others have said its one of the most difficult targets to process and you have done a stonking job.

Lovely job Olly.

The Orange stras as already mentioned really make this image too. I like the way you're swapping ebtween PI and PS. I'm trying to do that too. Although I'm hoping its just that I 'm not as familar with PI as I am with PS. I do miss the selective tools from PS. I think there are 2 layers of dust in the background too. Aazy cloud whispyness on the right and bottom left in a widefield (Rotate your pic 90 CCW) and then a brown dust almost behind the cluster. Very hard to balance across the range. Great job.

From an untrained eye such as mine this is truly awe inspiring. Can't wait to see the finished mosaic.

Scarily good image Olly.....I don't remember ever seeing such depth in the nebulosity without a loss of the sense of the 'star cluster' if you get my drift.

Cheers

Incredible image Olly - so in-your-face but so subtle as well right across the whole frame...
