I really likes the colors on this one, some say less others say more but for me this is spot on.
Good job

Very nice. Thank you for sharing.

With my current camera/scope setup I can only image part of this target; I think I need to buy that Samyang 135mm!

Very nice Richard, another stunner!  Nice to see so much colour in the star, I really like that, it add a lot to the image.

Thanks Adam. Agreed it needs the star colour, otherwise it's a sea of red. The blues and yellows break it up a bit.

If you want to add, there's a fair amount of oxygen too in that area, especially in the middle.

One could render an HOO image and then combine it with an RGB image
