Greg, I like the widefield treatment of this object.      The details and coloring are nice.   This is one of those objects I find difficult to colorize to make it pleasing and you've done a nice job!

@terri Thanks, Terri!  Tough sometimes to decide on a color palette that shows off the objects without detracting too much from them in these widefield shots.
