This is 7 hours total exposure on the Soul Nebula. I've started using processing techniques I learned from a tutorial by Teagan (link below) that makes the blues "pop" as well as brings out the details. It has made my processing so much easier.

So much detail in the contrast between dark and light filaments that I must admit to being amazed.

Nice job Steve, I would mask the nebula and apply more noise reduction

Thanks all for the kind comments. I'm really enjoying learning about NB imaging and processing. I've gotten so much help from others here on the forum.
Below is a newer processing version of the same data. I believe it is a bit crisper and the stars are better. Hope you like it.
