Nice shots, Geoff:)

Like the ones of the Veil...plenty of detail there.

Helix is good too....I like the colours:)

Your just starting to get some of the outer regions of the Helix poke their heads into the piccie....maybe you should've extended the subs....7-10 mins maybe.

Thanks Carl, I tried to tease out those bits with processing, you are right...more exposure time is needed.



Thanks Jeanette, I like that one to. Should have mentioned that Matt took and processed the Helix shot. Not bad for a first effort





Troy, I do like that Flattener is works really well


Thanks David, I'll get Matt to check the histogram on the Helix.
