[QUOTE="STM, post: 751738, member: 12827"] Well done! I am going to shoot the Flame and Horse Head nebulae tonight, cloud cover permitting. Perhaps you could have used the lasso tool with a fairly wide feather and selected around the Horse Head and Bright Orion Nebulae and then inverted the selection and blackened the skies so you retained the detail in the nebulae. Just a suggestion...........I hope you don't mind I took the liberty to see how well it worked. [ATTACH=CONFIG]351530._xfImport[/ATTACH] I would not worry too much about light pollution from the moon in the vicinity of Orion. I took this one the night before last of just M24 and NGC 1973-5-7 without a light pollution filter (I used a 400mm f/2.8 ED IF AIS on a D500) a bright 64% moon and got rid of any pollution with a couple of levels stretches, the "apply filter" and subtracting the background and some work with curves and the Camera Raw filter. It was like it was not even there. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions. [ATTACH=CONFIG]351531._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
