That's lovely Rick, i really like that! Nice and colourful with lots of detail in the nebula itself, and the stars look great too. 

I've been processing an LRGB of this one myself this week, though only with a wee SW 80ed. Not quite there yet. Managed the first 90% of the processing quite easily, but for some reason am struggling with the last bit, mainly in regards to how bright the final image should be, and how much (if any) star reduction to go with. Should hopefully finish it soon. 

Cracking image!
