Hi Jase,
This might be worth 1.6 cents based on the current economy and the fact that I am not an imager of much chop at all, but...........
I agree with Leon and Fred, firstly because the bright stars with the diffraction spikes overload the image and I actually caught myself squinting at their brightness compared to the rest of the image.
Secondly, and this may be because of the first reason, but my impression of the image and my reaction to it is that it reminded me of a Christmas lights display on a house? Not because of the constellation or its proximity to the greater nebulous area (yes I
always read your interesting editorials).
Anyway, that's just my opinion, I know it may not matter based on my experience level, and I certainly intend no offense, but without a comparitive experience level as a peer, I can only offer my impressions of the image as seen by my eyes and my interpretation.
Now, where was that couch again Leon?
Move over, I may need to join you.....
Great quality, just not my cup of tea either, sorry.
I would love to see a "toned down" version of the diffraction spike stars in brightness volume if possible? Or you could just tell me to go jump...
, your choice.
Cheers
Chris
