The IRIS Nebula

I worked hard to bring out the dust on this and I am not sure it really works that well - maybe looks a bit overprocessed? Comments and suggestions for how to make it better please.

SW Evostar 80ED, EOS700Da, NEQ6

58 X 240s ISO800 ( should have been more but mist!)

Ruins many a good clear night.

 Nice Iris, maybe a little overcooked. I think if you try a more gentle approach to the process and work a little on the colour balance you could improve it. Sometimes less is more.

Thanks for that. I think you are right, overcooked!  I'm just learning Pixinsight and I need to tone various processes down a bit. I'll give it another go at the weekend.

I think reducing the colour saturation considerably would give a calmer, cleaner image. Otherwise it looks great to me.

Thanks Olly.  I increased the saturation selectively in the dust right at the very end and that was a mistake. I really need to work on subtlety but I've never been much good at that.😆
