:eyepop: wow thats a beauty , how do you get it so smooth , nice framing , lovely horsey to :thumbsup:

done well Mick, the "black " line at the bottom of the frame does detract from the image slightly. I would be doing cartwheels with that result!!!!

Mick very nice smooth image lots of detail in the flame without loosing the horsey. Lovely range of star colour as well. Excellent :thumbsup:

nice one mick very smooth indeed. too bad with the centering though. does it help alot with ICNR?

[mick pinner]

thanks Eric, l'm going to try seperate darks soon but ICNR seems to work ok. l actually forgot to put the UHC-S filter in line and lost some longer subs due to light pollution. l've included one of the 7 min subs.

Nice shot there mick, i like the way you present your colours too

Great image! Particularly for hand guided. A lot of detail in the Flame there :)

VERY cunning Mick by having the bright star dead center any reflection from it will land on itself. It has come up very nicely.

The black bit at the bottom is a shadow of the cameras mirror. It really only shows up with extreme stretching.
