A fairly quick 47 Tucanae

[Stevec35]

While I was delving around the SMC I couldn't resist a shot of 47 Tucanae which I haven't imaged in a few years. This is only a fairly short exposure of 45 minutes for each of L,R,G and B with the RGB used for synthetic luminance.

Cheers

Steve

Great image scale for such a tightly compressed glob. Looks pretty ace :)

Cheers,

Good work, Steve! Resolved to the core.

Great resolution Steve but if you allow a constructive critics I would work a bit on the gamma (in particular the high lights) and color balance, IMHO the dynamic is a bit too compressed and the overall look is a bit dark and yellowish, lacking of "energy" :question:

Yeah nice huh?Amazing cluster that...only thing I'd suggest though is to brighten that very inner core, it should be brighter than the rest of the cluster not dimmer :thumbsup:

Nice work none the less

Thanks for the feedback Mike. I processed this pretty quickly and I'll have another look at it.



Thanks Marco. I think a bit of tweaking is definitely in order.



Thanks Rick

Thanks guys. I was going to do some tweaking on the colour but haven't got round to it yet.
