Second night at Astrofest:

Thanks to all at "Imaging Central" for the processing help.

Thanks for your patience Paul

Cripes Geoff, good "first". Now do it all again with the Mak/Cass. Very nice.

Very nice. Looks even better on this monitor. Well done mate.

I'm still practising this processing business, trying to recall Ponder's tips. I took notes but re-reading them, they don't make any sense. I think I was a bit tired when taking them and they're all jibberish. Ahahahaah.

That's just lovely Geoff!
Beautiful colours too.

Well I reckon that's a fantastic effort Geoff.

Very well done my friend.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Nicely done Geoff. You can't beat processing central for photoshop tuition.

Look at all the colour, great image Geoff, yet another Astrofest winner. So next years Erwin Vandervelden memorial Astrophotography trophy will have several boards to vote on!

Nice going Geoff! Looks like its all come together nicely on that one for you.

Geoff,

Kudos to you. That's a wonderful first image. :)

One thing I can note that could do with a little improvement is that there is a slight green cast to the image. If you tone that down in Photoshop, it'll finish off an already excellent image.

Well done.

Regards,

Great first image Geoff. A very pretty dumbell to be proud of. Looks like Astrofest was a corker for the weather looking at the number of photos taken. Maybe get there one day.

Nice image well done.
