The Great Barred Spiral Galaxy

[oska]

NGC 1365 & friends.
Space Lint!

167 of 266 30s ASI1600MC-p
Eon 85
darks, flats & dark flats.
basic stretch and denoise in PI.

I've tried to not make the background too black
I'd really love some tips on how to get the colour into the galaxy

As always criticism most welcome.
Cheers.

Really nice work, and the background processing is spot on!

What a great field.

Lovely image and very well processed too. Some galaxies are not quite as colourful as others so have a look at some pics online to guide you. Having said that, colour best comes out with more integration time and darker sky. Otherwise I guess photoshop or other processing software can help boost saturation but don’t go to heavy or it’ll start looking very artificial. Honestly, I really love what you’ve presented here and wouldn’t touch the colour :thumbsup::thumbsup:
