NGC 6960 (Witch's Broom) and Pickering's Triangle - Ha OIII Bi-Colour

[Rodd]

First one for me--very nice--background has a slight glow, which is natural, since a very thin "veil" of Ha permeates the region.  Very natural looking

Thanks Rodd.

That's interesting. It certainly explains why i had such a hard time trying to 'fix' the background. Perhaps it didn't need fixing at all! ?

Take a look at Olly Penrice's recent veil--he really exemplified the faint stuff.  It definitely is there.  That's not to say that there couldn't be some element of the background that needs to be fixed.  This is a game of ever decreasing increments  (In processing tool settings) as you are no doubt aware.
