Hi,
The Trifid and it's background has always been tricky to balance.
In this image I've processed to make both in balance, or at least the way I perceive it should be after looking at many images.
The combination of ISO 6400 and 1600 seems to be a good combination bringing out fainter details and giving richness to the colour palette.
I'd love some input on this image, do you think I achieved the right balance.
8" F/4 astrograph HEQ pro 5 mount. Orion mini guider.
Unmodded canon 1100D, baader type III coma corrector.
30 x 2 minute subs, ISO 6400 and 12 x 5 minute ISO 1600 and 5 x 2 minute ISO 800 . Stacked in DSS, processed in Photo shop Cs2..
Cheers,
Justin.
