M83 - Reprocessed

[Rex]

Hi Guys,
First ever M83. Taken over two nights, 84x300sec @ ISO800 with the gear in my signature.

Thanks for looking.

Edit: Boosted saturation as per discussions below. Thanks again guys for the advise, I like it much better now.

Beautiful rendition :)

Awesome shot Rex! Lots of fine detail in the spiral arms.

Well done Rex. A little more colour saturation perhaps? Looks like the histogram will take it. Keep them coming.

Nice detail, Rex. I also think you could bump up the colour!

Thanks Nicola.



Thanks Kevin, I've been dieing to have a crack at this one, finally got there. They were both exceptionally clear nights so was able to get reasonable data.



Thanks Jase, I'll give it a go and see how much colour noise comes out.



Thanks Rick. I will definitely give the saturation a bump up and see how it fairs.

Reprocessed this with a bit more colour. Added the pic to the first post for easy comparison. I like this version better, although I stuffed up and used an old date marker oops. (old date markers now deleted from my file store).

Nice going there Rex, 2nds much more natural looking - dig the arm details captured :thumbsup:

That's a beauty Rex! Nice and sharp, and the sat boost has really helped
bring some colour out of the galaxy. :thumbsup:

All the stars in the second shot are pink. Can you do a blend of the two images? Just push the colour up on the galaxy itself?

[Rex]

Thanks Bob.



Thanks Goran. I'm very slowly getting the hang of processing. Getting good advice from people with more knowledge than oneself also helps. ;)



Wow your right, thanks for the heads up. I can't believe I didn't see that before. I'll have a look and fix it up.

Love it Rex :thumbsup: especially the sat boosted one.
