Hello all,

Soliciting feedback on my image here... https://www.astrobin.com/g4jty8/ 
I used Pixinsight to create the masters and processed RGB stars separately, used Photoshop to get the nebulosity and 
used extracted Lum for details on the nebula itself and touched up in Photoshop camera raw.

Thanks everyone!

I can only say incredible !!!!  I just started in in astrophotography, so learning the ropes.

It's a great image already. Have you thought of using Ha as a luminance for more detail and soften the image even more. Think about using ACDNR in pixinsight as well if you haven't done so already.

Thank you so much! I did use TGVDenoise on  both RGB and Chrominance reduction, and I used extracted Lum and Ha Lum just on the bubble for detail too. Let me see if I can reduce noise further. 
Thanks again!
Well Written Respectful
