NGC 2808 7 x 3 min exposures iso 800 cannon 300d and the 12 inch newt just an exercise in presentation to dolly up an otherwise average subject. hope you like it

i have added another pic this time with less blue, it probably is too blue, my main reason for submitting this image was to provoke a discussion on borders and text added to images, ive pushed the envelope with those i have added for that reason (see a few posts on for adjusted colours) Also i wanted to see how much the added text effects the quality of the outputted image as a whole for sharpness jpg compression etc
