It was pretty clear last night so i thought I'd try this one.
Not to sure about the colour and could do with more subs

120 x 90 sec @1100 ISO
Darks, bias, and flats subtracted
Canon 450d (modded)
6" Sykywatcher BD f/5
No guiding

Looks good Andy - might be able to increase saturation to bring the colour up a bit?

[mynameiscd]

Thanks Tony I'll try that.

Great capture Andy.
For my taste I like the colour the way you have it to give a natural look.
I stuff all my images with over saturation and they never look natural.

Great detail, but agree that the colour could be turned up

Nice shot Andy, galaxies are on my to-do list..

Thanks Alex , Chris, and Carlton.
I did a saturation boost on my tablet and its better.
I'll go back to Startools when i get my laptop out.
I'm getting right into galaxies at the moment, especially this time of year when there's plenty about.

Plenty of detail in the Spirals so a good effort for short subs on your 6”
Yeh Startools will allow you to pull more out of this image
I use the scientific colour mode in Startools for galaxies, it really enhances the core
Great image !
Cheers

Very nice image, good data. Not sure how you work on your images so I can not comment on the colours, except you should be able to get much more than the blue you have :thumbsup:
