Hey Nik,

That's a great image. Plenty of detail across the board, and contrast between the light & dark areas that give depth to the image.

Great colours, too - love the deep reds and the blue highlights.

Cheers,
V

Really lovely detail Nik. It sits really well in the star field too. I’m not 100% sold on the hues but that’s horses for corses. Great job !

[Nikolas]

Thanks for the comments
Ryan I'm not overly sure of the hues either and in retrospect it is a little oversaturated. I will add more data over the next season.

Superb. So much sharp detail. I like the slightly subtle processing.

Big fan of your work. We have similar setups with 130mm APO's.

I think 130mm APO is a sweet spot for refractors and the current crop of cameras.

Greg.

Great processing! I love how you manage to bring such depth to the image. Great job and looking g forward to more projects when the weather behaves

Thanks Greg, I do love this beast that's for sure, I'm planning mosaics next with it now the asiair is improved in this area, lets hope for the weather to play ball
