Thanks for the kind words of encouragement.

My images never look as bright on my machine ... but when I post them they do look over saturated to me.

I am going to start the ball rolling to have my eye cateracts treated so this art period may be short lived...maybe folk will say...well during his saturation to excess period he was preoccupied with the sound of orange...we can only watch as it all unfolds.

But I was thinking...

The electro magnetic specrum if represented as a movie film (the old type with individual identifiable frames) some 2000 miles long that part that we see, the visable part of the spectrum, can be represented as only one single frame...yes all we see is just one single frame in that long strip of film...so I see my efforts as a reminder that although my images appear to contain more colour than we like they are nevertheless still hopelessly devoid of all the information contained in the electromagnetic spectrum that we never imagine.

And it is funny ...if we could see all the spectrum somehow visually all we would see is just a mist of all there is I expect.

Certainly my high powered approach to colour is well received by folk not into astronomy...they often ask...are they coloured like that...to which I say well if you look thru a scope they appear near black and white and the colour although present is extremely subtle such that features you notice here because of the colour may not be apparent otherwise.

But I am sure the extreme colour has folk looking with more interest than if they were presented with what we would call a good image.

The large image on my lappy seems to have so much more detail than the images here...I am surprised how well the little 80mm and the zwo pull out detail...and happy actually.

Thanks to all for looking.
Alex
