Thanks Greg. Yep - totally agree . Flats are still a bit of a problem for me. I can't do proper ones. Too dark or too light. Getting there though.

Thansk Trevor. I stacked the three subs in CCD stack, mean combine then off to photoshop [CS3]. Tweaked the levels then run one pass of Noiseware Professional [night scene] to get rid of most of the noise. Then I duplicated the layer, run a high pass filter 5.5 and blended back at 30% in overlay mode. I also used the shadow/highlight to tone down bright areas and bring up dark ones.

Great shot Marc, especially for only 3 mins data! Very cool. |
