Bojan, all

Thanks to this place I read up a bit a few days back about what
exactly gamut meant. Wow, I really used to think a CRT did a better
job at representing colours than an LCD. I was so wrong.

The thing is, I have a really good 19" CRT in the dome for the
capture PC, and because it does a better job at near blacks and,
(I feel) the colour gamut, I think a lot of my deep sky results look
better on the CRT.

When ever Fred V,Mike S or Pete W post a ballbuster for example, I always
do myself a favour and view it on the CRT.

For the daytime photography, it is the reverse....the good colour
DSLR shots look better on the cheap LG 17" LCD.

I read up about the technology behind the two colour schemes CMY
vs RGB and how they cannot ever reproduce all colours.
Fascinating stuff.....shows how amazing the human eye/brain combination
really is.
