I think a new thread would be cool and if anyone is interested I'll happily produce a copy of my workflow as used for this image although I think that I am right on the cusp of going too far with this one but it satisfied my desire to get that star-birth area nice and tight!

Yes please Steve.  I've started a thread under IMAGE PROCESSING.

I like this colour rendition Steve - It's not a solid flat lump in the middle and has some real depth to it ..... You've beaten me to it for sure

Wonderful image and a fascinating read. All that info adds so much more to it

Thanks Sara, luckily there is no race involved here, I was just lucky with the weather (did I REALLY say that here in the UK?) so I look forward to seeing your two pane version of this when it's done.

Thanks, Michael, I like to do a little research on the objects that I am imaging  - always something new to learn.

Great image. In an entirely unrelated conversation with Steve (about his book, which I'm about to explore) I confessed to being a deconvolution ignoramus. The book, and this thread and image, have given me a wake up call! Barry, I'll check out your tutorial as well.

The colour version is inspiring me to give this a go, stunning detail and brilliant write up.
