Hi all,
just added some colour to my M8 Lum from last
month.
Conditions weren't that great last night, but the
Lum I was very happy with and made the image.
Have cranked the sharpening quite a bit... perhaps
a tad noisy in areas where I've selectively sharpened,
but I sort of like it like that.

Cheers all:thumbsup:

Thanks Nick, Mick, Gary, Ric and Louie..... for your really nice comments.
Was one of those nights when things weren't going well for the colour....
Was messing around most of the night on other targets.... collimation and alignment.
Lucky I had the lum already down and the colour made the nights dramas worth it all.
All the best
Rich

Thanks a bunch there Steve,:D the lum was my saving grace as when I took the lum, the transparency was excellent. Friday night was pretty poor, but was good enough for colour. That was after me bangin' my head trying to get things to perform... :bashcomp: working on a company to build me a carbon fibre tube to end my flexure dramas.
Hi Arthur,
cheers for all the compliments.... :o it's an ever on going thing and has been for a while.... but it keeps me out of the pub ! But not away from drinking...:drink: me ol' astro mate Rob sees to that once a week.
Glad you like Moses..... he's a champ my little Curly coated fella. He actually got his picture put in this Dutch Water dog book called 'Wassa Hount'..... bloody famous the little guy.
Cheers you guys:cheers:

Stunning result, Rich!
One of my favourite targets to look and, and a stunning pic of it!
ditto... Nice work Rich. Sometimes things just come together and work extremely well. Your image is a classic example.

Yes, great when there's a reward at the end of the turmoil that keeps us going in this hobby.
If slowly going a little mad in the process..:tasdevil:
All the best you guys
