Thought I would spend some more time on this image seeing it has been cloudy over here. :whistle:

Much happier with this version compared to the previous version. Used some new processing techniques and I think it has come up quite nicely.

Image can be found here. :)

Matt, Thats one impressive image you have there. Was it done using the C8 and what camera were you using. I have missed the previous thread. Well done.

Matt, that's a stunning image, and for so short an exposure. Well done again. More detail in this version.

Thanks very much guys. :D ;)

Mark, this was taken with a Lightbuckets 12.5" RCOS. I wish I could resolve such detail with my setup. I'm working on that though. :help:

Thanks Doug and David.

Glad you liked it. :)

Just started a piggy bank for a 12.5" RCOS. Hopefully I will have enough by I'm 30. :P

Great repro Matt. You've taken out most of the blue cast that appeared in the first image and managed the star colour much better.

Very nicely processed :thumbsup:

You've got a great image there Matt! :thumbsup::thumbsup: It always pays to spend plenty of time processing to pull out the colour & detail hiding in the data. I typically spend two days processing my images (!!) - with a few tweaks after that as I see ways to improve the result.

Well done!

Cheers, Marcus

Great repro. What stunning contrast, colour, and detail. Good luck with the savings plan!

Thanks again for the comments. :)

It really does help to spend as much time as possible on processing. I find that processing an image several times from scratch, so you have at least two seperate copies to compare, really helps. As I tend to miss or over do things the first time through.
