Lots of exposure and very nicely processed - well done!

Perhaps a bit red maybe, more magent is needed but still excellent!

Mike,

It's always great to receive praise from yourself.

I agree, it's a tad too red. I'll go back and have another play around with it and see if I can't do better.

Here's to the next image outdoing this one.

The Borg is a nice little scope.

Eric,

How's it going, mate? Cheers for the compliment.

Unfortunately, it's not my telescope. It belongs to Zane Hammond at Magellan Observatory. I borrowed it for the night.

Rod,

The last version, you mentioned was wearing bright red lipstick. This one has toned it down a little, but, needs more magenta.

I'm quite happy with the way the stars turned out, as well.

The Bok Globules looked incredible through Zane's 24" Dobzilla. I'd imagine the views would be similar through your new toy. Congratulations on the new addition to the family.

David,

It was a lot of effort, but, it's so much fun when it all works and the results speak for themselves.
