Hello everyone...and many thanks for the kind words....of course, I am delighted as anyone should be. Those guys at APOD do choose in some strange ways....for example, I regard my best image to date as the 5 panel mosaic of Corona Australis ....which took 3 months to image, is around 40 hours exposure, and something like 180 individual frames.....APOD not interested. Shoot a 90 second RGB of an eclipsed moon, take 5 minute to process it...send it in along with millions of others who must have photographed it, and you get an APOD?!
Anyway, its great fun...thanks a lot
Fred.....I combined a few hours of Lum binned 2x2 to pick out the outer galaxy halos, and teased them out using curves and contrast stretching.
cheers
Martin
