Reprocessed NGC4945,NGC4945a and NGC4976

[LucasB]

Hi there Astronomers,

My NGC4945 definitely needed a reprocess so here it is. I was trying something with colours that didn't quite work but hey it's all a learning process! This version is a LOT softer and I hope you enjoy. I would like to thank Greg Bradley and Paul Haese for their very constructive advice and very experienced eyes for direction with my image. Greg also gave some detailed advice on processing techniques for me which was a great help and I especially thank him for his extra time and effort.

All comments welcome,

Very nice results. I would personally work on star colour just a bit more, but overall a good result.

Nice. :)

That turned out well. Nice flat gradient free background eh? Amazing result from the suburbs.

I agree with Paul a tad more colour in the stars would spice it up just that little bit more.

Thanks Grant!





Thanks guys and yeah , I agree about the colour. Processing is a bit like putting in golf. If you tank a putt a mile past the hole you are always short on the way back! So if you overprocess the tendancy is to under do it a little the second time around.:thumbsup:
