Wonderful, as I said. May I use your M42 as my wallpaper?

tri-color imaging you typically create a greyscale image separately from a
color image and then lay the greyscale image as a luminace layer over the
color for the final picture. I toned down the brightness for the color
version because I thought it made the colors looked washed out.
