Altogether some great photos this month and lots that have the wow factor but one in particular caught  my eye the most and thats Red Dwarfs Flaming Star Nebula image in Ha and S11.

Why, subtle processing which gives the nebula an ethereal quality, in fact it looks very monsterish as pointed out by Derbyshire Dave. Well done Rob
