RE: [APML] M42 Mosaic Tweaked

Rob,  A very nice presentation of a very detailed image.  The mixing of red
and blue nebulosity around the edges of both M42 and NGC1977 to produce the
green coloration is to be expected, and shows its extent quite well.  And
the reduced saturation of the reds in M42 gives the image a much more 3d
appearance, like it is in front of the background nebulosity, which appears
to be an accurate brownish color.  Id rate this as your most complete and
best yet of this region.

Hi all,
If you're not all sick of this image yet I've tweaked it a bit
adding a drop more blue (which I must admit was lacking in
the original). I've also adjusted the saturation of some of the hues
which the image needed. Last I've changed the web format to portrait
which although inconvenient for the viewer gives the image more impact
IMO. Anyway thoughts and comments appreciated.
