M8 revisited

[Tom Davis]

I reprocessed my data of the M8 and M20 region. I was less heavy handed with the sharpening and I used less luminance to help with color fidelity. I still, however, processed to get the blue haze surrounding and lying over M8.

I like this version better. Hind sight is 20/20.

Nicely done, Tom. Like the hint of RN around M8, sets off the main neb.

Great picture in all respects--guiding, composition, processing.

A magnificent image Obi-one-Tom-nobi. One of the all time very best of this area.

Nice image Tom, although a bit too much magenta for my personal liking.

Masterful Tom.

[Peter Ward]

A little too much Chroma in the processing for my liking, but

masterful capture of a perenial favorite :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I do tend to lean towards more rather than less color saturation; I don't know why, but I always have.

Ah boy, I dunno why people make fun of reprocesses :shrug:...ba humbug :thumbsup:

Like Greg said one of the best :)

Nice Sidonio Tom :lol:

Back when Michael Jordon was playing for the Chicago Bulls there was a saying "I want to be like Mike".

That saying works for me now "I want to be like MIKE (Sidonio)"!!

Cheers,
Tom

Very nice rendition of the region Tom. The nebulosity is well managed and the dark lanes show up beautifully

Super image :thumbsup:
