Hi Guys
Well, this is at about my patience limit, after 10 hrs odd of processing effort
.
I think its the best pic ive done so far, as smooth and noise free as I can get it without the usual hardcore processing. The stars are still not perfect, but at least they dont get in the way here, which suits this object.
This is one of those pics you can zoom in on and get lost in the many and varied 3D cloud formations.
Im keen to see how it presents on you guys LCDs, does it size properly, and click-zoom appropriately?. Is the colour OK?
