Looks good Ben.
I particularly like the wider field view with the Southern Tadpoles included and the colours are really nice (although it looks like some of the detail might be getting crushed a bit by the IIS picture size limit).

Hi Pete


Thanks for your comment. But yet yeah, IIS picture size limit killed some of the details. I'll upload a close up of the tadpoles soon.

Ah, another two birds with one stone image, love it...except its an Ibex (https://pbase.com/strongmanmike2002/image/163328895/original) and tadpoles :question: :lol:

Lovely images! Your stars are just amazing, perhaps outshining the tadpoles just a little even!

A great image Ben! Love the one with 3603 & 3576 together. The colours are spot on and you've revealed the nuance of hues very nicely. Well done! :thumbsup:

Thanks Marcus,

I do try to match the natural colours as I can when I process my images. As I does take me a while to process all the data, but I do like to spend the time.

I like how you've recorded your acquisition details. Is this something you made up in Excel?

Hi Rene

Yeah, I used excel. It does make life easier when you fill out the data. Do you want a copy?
