Thought I'd try a tracked image with the Samyang 14mm.
This one was 4 minutes from SPSP. I think there must have been some cloud roll in causing the pointers to bloom like that. It's quite a pleasing effect actually.

Good work.
It would take me an hour to get such years ago.

The view counter did not register my viewing????

It will, it takes a little while.

[xelasnave]

It seems to be counting now.

Thanks Alexander. Yep the digital camera has changed everything ;)

My point it took a lot of time.
I should get a new camera and see what can be done

That last link does not work but I found it in the iis thread which worked???

Nice shot but lacks colour. I would work on the colour and also try to get some colour into the stars.

Thanks Greg - appreciate the advice.

My early wide-field efforts always ended up way too purple but I may have gone too far in avoiding that. I'll try to re-process and maintain a bit more colour. Practice makes perfect and all that.

Tried a repro to add more colour as per Greg's suggestion.
I fear I might have overdone it a bit but it was a good exercise in any case.

Superb shot, Peter. :thumbsup: IMHO your colors were spot on in the original.

[Atmos]

Thanks Marc and Colin.
Appreciate the feedback. Maybe I should try a blend of the two? :D
