Taken on a 10"RCOS RC at f9 (2275mm FL), PME mount and ST10XME in urban skies . Off axis guided.

New processing proceedure.

After the usual gear.
1/ Check its better than one of Mike Sidonios vain zoom ins (not hard really)
2/ Add noise to an other wise perfect image to fake detail.
3/ Ignore the stupid random white dots.. leave them fat and distorted, who cares. And suck the colour out of them, they deserve it, punks.
4/ Colour adjust to a vauge organic-film-nostalgic effect.
Oh well not too bad really, you got 2,3 & 4 spot on at least

Seriously, it's quite nice, great scale - nice...the detail does look proceesed in as you say though

Mike
