I thought this morning I would do something different. I used the data I took at Qld Astrofest 2007 and then stacked it in deepskystacker. i then saved it as a 32 bit tiff and threw it over into CS3 to see what horrible mess I could come up with. To be honest I had absolutely NO idea what I was really doing, just playing with different options and settings - trying to pay attention to not killing the histogram, anyway I think I really need to start and do something a lot better than what i have been doing in the past. this is a different feel to the
original version I posted when I returned from that trip. Please feel free to have a pick at it and I do have the original tiff file if you want to have a play with it LOL its 89MB
so if you really want to have a poke and prod we could work something out. note the image is slightly cropped from the original but not by much
