Given that the weather next week is predicted to be pear shaped I decided to defer further data on the helix and produce another colour version using the data I already have. Might still be a bit too red but overall I like it.

Cheers

Steve

Certainly a huge improvement Steve. Maybe push that blue up a bit. I remember when I did this myself the colour balance was so hard to sort out.

With detail like that It's hard not to like....well done Steve.

Thanks Louie



Thanks Paul. Actually just about every image of the helix I see seems to have different colour balance. Maybe it's a problem with faint objects.

Wonderful image Steve, and great scale as well. It really shows off the inner details well.
Regarding the colour I too would probably push the blue a bit more, but yeah there are so many different versions of this one :)

Thanks Graham. Bit of a struggle but turned out okay in the end I think.
