Hi Guys

Thanks for the feedback and encouragement

gregbradley:
Thanks - Yes I have actually another version which is more saturated and probably uploaded the wrong one though I see what you mean about the washout - it looked pretty OK on my other workflow laptop but then I should have been more careful shouldn't I? - Thanks for the tip about zone system for astrophotography, reminds me of the Zone V system (by the master, Ansel Adams) I used when involved in B/W photography - will look it up for sure!
I am pleased that the colors were quite right - I wasn't too sure as I have seen others on the web that were a range from red to claret pinky!

Thanks Doug for your kind comments; always admired your work, liked your gallery of astropixs! I shot the subs @ ISO640 or thereabouts, being that it was a pretty light-polluted sky that night what with the moon and the street lamps etc I had thought that any higher ISO would be too much and I was just testing my setup with the FR and filter - I am happy with the results and got a pretty good shot of M42 as well with my EOS 5D which I will post in a new thread just to get some critique so that I can improve my technique

mexhunter:
Greetings Cesar; but you have views of others that we in the Southern hemisphere cannot view too! Thanks and hope to catch you again

I have posted another image that was the one which should have been posted in the first place!

Regards
Bill
