Len, thats a decent image.  Id say the biggest difference between yours and
Matts is the star sizes and color response.  You might try stopping down one
stop to get smaller stars, or try the "minimum" method in photoshop to
reduce them.  Which film did you use?  The reds are either washed out a bit
more by skyfog or lack of reds in the film itself.  This is a difficult area
to image properly, youve choosen a good are to hone your skills on. You can
also compare your colors to my shot:

Subject: [APML] first try


My first attempt at processing the North American nebula.
http://communities.msn.com/LenCasady  I used Matt's image at
http://world.std.com/~mattb/gallery/astro/cygnus.html to try to match.

Any comments on how to get a little closer?
