Hey John,

Overall, this is quite impressive. Makes me wish for a far larger
monitor than the 19".

I know which part is more irritating, and potentially more
time-consuming. About how much time did you spend on processing?

It looks to me like much of the very faint nebulosity has been 'pulled'
up quite a bit to the point that those areas compare favorably
(brightness-wise) with much more dominant areas, like M42, and the
Running Man. Did you do anything intentionally to mute certain areas,
or stretch other areas?

This is really an awesome project that you have done a beautiful job
on, and thank you for sharing your building technique with us.

Alan
