Thanks Colin, the ANTU image is from 1999 and that's a rather small version so I'm not deluded, as I said it just helps to verify that detais are real (and not wavelette/Decon etc induced pretend detail )

The full frame doesn't excite me (because it's not 100%! ) but oh my, the 100% crop is a cracker! The depth and detail you've achieved is excellent and the saturation is perfect . You're obviously getting some good seeing down there.

Cheers, Marcus
Cheers Marcus, thanks for the feedback, I was happy with how this one came together

Man, the SBIG large format cameras seem to have a few issues these days, must be incredibly frustrating considering the investment $ ?

That VLT image almost looks a bit black clipped. They need you on their imaging team!

Yes, I have never been a long RGB exposure man, it just simply isn't necessary, getting the best Lum possible is where it's all at
