Nice one Geoff:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Interesting comparison, considering our OTAs are very similar. There is some dust/IFN in the background of both images, which may also emerge with more exposure time....but may also de-emphasise the globule(??)

Thanks Mark
Yep, it really needs a lot more exposure.

Very nice rendition and nicely composed Geoff

Overall it looks great but the bottom right 1/3rd looks overly red. I thought you may've added some Ha but there isn't. Is that real or a gradient in red?

Greg.

[Geoff45]

Thanks Mike



Thanks Greg. I'm not sure if its real or not. I can remove it easily with ABE/DBE, but I'll have a think about it first.

Top shot Geoff. Really nice colors and details. Few interesting galaxies in there too. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Hi Geoff a bit out of my league but wow it certainly spills over with interest. I think a side on galaxy in there as well.

[Geoff45]

Thanks Marc and Robert. I've highlighted some of the galaxies in the thumbnail.

Looking good Geoff! Always wanted a crack at this one from a dark site :D

[Geoff45]

Thanks Andy. This is one that would certainly benefit from a much longer exposure.

A great combination of dusty areas and reflection nebula. Makes for a fine image.

[Geoff45]

Thanks Rodney. Yes, dust always looks good. Not sure why though.

[Paul Haese]

Nice one Geoff. Colours and detail look great.

[rustigsmed]

A lovely rendition Geoff! :thumbsup: I must give this one a go myself one day!

[Geoff45]

Thanks Paul, Russ and Marcus. It was a bit difficult to process with the short exposure. So often the long exposures just fall into place with the processing while the short stuff takes forever.
