Can`t see a gradient this end also..
When is your bigboy coming? I bet not soon enough!
Hi Gary

Cheers mate, glad you saw something new here

The AG12 may be here before Christmas...but I'm patient.

Certainly picked up the extended halo nicely on 1316... with some fine structure coming through.
Love the two little blue, spirals down to the lower L/H corner, looks as though they are doing some interacting ?.
Nice saturated star colours.

I noticed a bit of a yellowish gradient to the R/h side, probably more dominant to the upper R/H corner..
Clean this up and reduce a bit of the colour speckle noise and she'll be perfecto oh maestro..

How far off's the new scope ??

All the best for now
Rich
Thanks Rich, yes an interesting field, guess that's why I framed it that way . I like the two interacting galaxies also but the distant face on spiral closer to the top of the image is my fav.

Seems the colour noise (and gradient) is more noticable to some than others, I can see it but at a sitting distance from the screen it is all but invisible on my screen. I sometimes go easy on things like this so as not to exhange one "issue" with another, namely obviously processed/smoothed look or colour loss etc. The colour speckle blends into a hue at a sitting distance.

Buuuut, given I am the champion of repros...I bet I have a crack at it though

Thanks again mate

Mike
