I like your processing Richard, we seem to have a commn connecton there? Not toooooo smooth, with lots of detail, so it's natural looking, nice. Don't care what anyone says, artificial smoothing is almost always very obvious, even when careful layering and blending is used, some low level fine noise is quite acceptable and natural looking IMO.

You have picked up some Galactic Cirrus in the NGC 2442 shot but you are losing it in that prominent gradient running diagoinally top right to bottom left. Actually both images have the same gradient..? any ideas? Can you get rid of that?

At least you have done an image (two even!)....I'm jealous! none for me since end of Sept .....repro anyone?

Another nice job mate .

Mike
