Beautiful images Ram. I love the wide field view. Congrats on the APOD.

All are excellent images. I think I like the PI only (L-/RGB-SHO) version best. It seems to have the most looking natural stars, best background, best nebula features.

I thought I was logged on to NASA APOD for a minute there.

And congratulations on the TSS award. In fact, probably candidate for picture of the YEAR.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the kind words! I still think there's a long way to go here but I am always learning and hopefully getting better. I'm a big fan of using a more colourful/psychedelic aesthetic to abstract the rich data we capture. The learning is never ending but I'm enjoying the process a lot. I've been playing using AfterEffects to make the images more 3D but haven't really applied it yet to my images. Has anyone tried things like that? Create a 3D model of the starscape? So much to do, so little time.
