The data requested was from 20h 13m 26s, +40° ...

Hi folks, The aim was a natural looking colour balance, a little 'sparkle' from those young blue stars, clarity of the dust lanes and the addition of enhanced hydrogen emission nebulosity. The thumbnail below links to an image is 5651 pixels wide (50% scale and about 6.4MB). http://andersson-design....

From this Hubble data, processed by yours truly:
I wanted to bring out the structure so I just used the F814W/F550M/F435W filter data.
