Cocoon Nebula

After a flats nightmare this has been dragged kicking and screaming into the light. 3 hours of Lum and 1 hour each RGB.

Nice Martin - got all the structure and detail and picking up the fine detail too.  Careful when blending the L and RGB as this is probably causing the (grey) halos around the larger stars when L and RGB mismatched this can occur.  At this image scale though can be hard to avoid - I could not get rid of it all.
