Hi Everyone, with the clouds reining supreme over the Victorian skies, I decided to revisit my first shot under dark skies, taken last July in Kilmore, Victoria.

I've since earned a few more subtle processing techniques from Phil Hart and the guys from the ASV (thanks gents), so I was able to extract a bit more of the blue nebulosity from the limited data available, using both black and white (Luminance) and colour layers (colour) in Photoshop with a lot of adjustments and several NIK filters.

I only managed 10x5 min subs, had a bunch of problems first time away, but finally shot these at 3.30am. - Probably needed a whole lot more! :shrug:
Anyway, here are both the new and original versions of the files.

Your feedback is welcome as always :)
Cheers

Andy
