ED100 & NGC3372 - Take 2

[Robert9]

Last night unexpectedly was fine so I grabbed the opportunity to improve (or try to improve) previous effort on this target. The moon at 1st QTR. wasn't as much a nuisance as I expected but sky wasn't as clear as the weekend before last.

I'm puzzled by the slight green cast in the lower RH corner.

Hi Robert,

Nice work, that is a massive improvement on take 1 and a fine shot in its own right. star shapes are better and you've got a good colour balance in this one. if you use photoshop you can go to channel mixer and turn the green down a touch. did you apply any flats to the image?

Cheers

Much improved Robert.
You may want to crop out the stacking artefacts down the right hand side but its a good start nonetheless.

what are you processing with?

Many thanks for your complimentary comment Russ and Goran. I have to admit, I like it too :lol:.
I added darks when I processed in Registax 6. Also did colour adjustment with the histogram in Registax, with a final "touch-up" in PS CS3.
I forgot to remove the artifacts bit at the edge and didn't notice the slight green cast until I'd uploaded the image. I'll have to have another little fiddle. :P

That is coming along very nice. Some pretty good detail in the image.
