Yes the red channel was a bit messy and required some balancing which led to some clipping. I didn't think it was too bad but its worth a redo to see if I can balance out the red properly without causing the black clipplng. A repro coming up.

Thanks Andy. I wasn't able to get as much red as the other channels and some of the red had some gradients (observatory wall gets in the way as this one sets).

Thanks Simon.

Yeah I think I can do it. I may have to resort to using PI hehehe.

Actually, I think it's one of the best images you have produced in quite a while.

Nice one

Cheers Peter. Clipping blacks does punch up contrast! but at a cost of some subtle shade details. I think there may be a bit of dust in the star areas that could be revealed with more careful processing.

Which one is that Lewis - the little galaxy near the top of the image?

Greg.
