Here is a quick 15 min processing of 12x12min with darks only.
I will probably end up redoing it again properly and spend a bit more time on it but here it is for now.



Cheers Daniel.

Well done, Daniel.

The image has a bit of a magenta cast. See if you can remove that through levels or colour balance adjustment layers.

Glad to see you got some photons.

Nice Daniel, I agree with H, I think you'd bring a lot more out of it, turning the red down a touch!

Looking good grasshopper :)
To keep Alnitak under control you have to keep the top of the curves down when you do an curves adjustment, this keeps big stars smaller.

[danielsun]

Thanks for the input H, Daz and Martin. I have given it a slight tweak.;)

Cheers Daniel.

[mill]

That looks much better Daniel :thumbsup:
The colors look more natural (Ahum what we think is natural :rofl: ).

[Jen]

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: very nice Daniel :D

[erick]

As I recall, the three of us - Jen, Daniel and myself - were looking at it at the same time! :thumbsup:

I think you have a tad more detail than we could see :D

[Hagar]

Very nice Daniel, a huge field of view with great detail.
Maybe a bit more work on your colour balance or at least background colour.
Another winner. Well done.

I suspect that was a Monday night shot :(

[Jen]

Oh yes we were too :D That was pretty cool :thumbsup:



Yep it sure was MONDAY NIGHT Niko hehe :D (it was the best night) :P

[danielsun]

Thanks again Marty;)

Thanks Jen.:)Can't wait to get back there and do it all again.;)


Yes that's right Eric, while we were having a nice visual of it through your new beast my camera's were snapping away to get this image, though looking through an eyepeice straight after looking at my laptop screen was a bit of a struggle.:P:)

Thanks Doug ;), I will still give another go to get the colour balance right.:)


Not wrong Niko, I was the best night and we were thinking of you. :lol:


Thanks Marc.;):)


Yeah and if we had your number Niko we would have called you at 5:00am to let you know what you missed.:lol::lol:

[Jen]

:lol::lol: yep thats true we were going to ring you hehehe ;)

[Martin Pugh]

A super effort Daniel. Well done.

great work Daniel

[wysiwyg]

Well done Daniel!
This is not an easy target due to the dynamic range. you kept Alnitak at bay and you have captured some great detail. Take subs as long as your rig will allow for this guy!

[atalas]

Nice shot Daniel!

[desler]

I'd very happy with that result Daniel, really very nice image!

Darren
