Ok my very last repro or Sidonio of NGC253 (i promise).
My redone ngc253 was very soft in color and not so good at all (i think).
So here the new version of 2Gigabyte -->> http://martinsastro.net/displayimage..._display_media
Looks good Martin, except one small thing but it is a bit distracting. You have black rings around the stars. Get rid of that and you have a lovely image.
Martin there appears to be a slight gradient present need to adjust the background I'll email you a repro I did see what you think
Cheers
Got the repro but grainy

Thanks Paul
The black rings must be from the minimum filter i used to make the stars smaller
That looks very good Martyn, some nice detail there and the colours are subtle. One thing though, there is a large dark elongated smudge left of the galaxy, t'is a bit distracting in an otherwise fine shot
Martin, in case you are not doing this, but with the use of the minimum filter use that with a duplicate layer and once apply the filter in the duplicate layer use the opacity slider. This prevents ringing. It is slightly different from other minimum type of applications but I have found this works for me.

Thank you for the tip Paul
I still am at baby steps with layers so i only use levels, curves and the other easy stuff in CS
Now that is nice Marty, a nice balance of colour and detail and your stars do look very nice and round. My only fault would be that the stars look a little short of colour. Always a hard task to balance your image and star saturation with the QHY9 but not un achievable.

Thanks mate
Yes when processing you sometimes get carried away and miss subtle things
