Greg.
Cheers Greg! Yeah, I went out last night just before the gale and the showers - seeing was shocking. I need to move!

would I love to have a scope like that!
It's come up very nicely indeed.
I can't wait to see the colour added.

cheers

Thanks Allan. Yes, I deliberately chose a galaxy field for just that reason. It will also test my rusty processing skills

Not a serious criticism of course, still looks good - the galaxies are a cool contrast to each other.

Thanks, but maaaaate!! I want you to critique my images! I'd really prefer though that you point out specific things that you've noticed that I could improve upon. In this case there are no decon artefacts that I can see (and therefore fix) .

Also, there are 38 adjustment layers in the PS file, any one of which I might have screwed up. I often have to go back a few layers and fix stuff because of a careless application of a tool or action. I post full res all the time precisely because I can't tolerate (obvious) processing artefacts and take pains to avoid them. I also want folks to appreciate the detail. So if you do see a defect, tell me the specifics so I can fix it - don't assume you know what's caused it. There are folks out there that don't like real critiques, but I'm not one of them.

Cheers Louie ... me too! I reckon this is one the most beautiful galaxy fields - not because of the show-pony galaxies, but because of the miriad faint ones in the background. Practically one out of every three white spots in this image is a distant galaxy!
