Thanks for your comments and for looking.

Not bad Enrique although I tried to soften a bit and bring out the fainter detail, quick touch up in Picassa

Lots of looks not many comments, data looks solid, it's got good potential, colors are just a bit strong, you could have used some form of a stretch earlier in the process to lessen the contrast overall, then to get the strength of detail apply a masked form of sharpening to the detailed bits. Plus just reduce the stars a teeny bit
I'm sure there's a cracker of an image in there, it just needs some more tinkering, to get that right balance.

I want to have the edges dark without darkening the stars. I want the center of the image to pop up. I darken the other details on purpose. I fact, I am attaching a new version with the edges darker than the first one.

Nice. How are you finding the QHY 11 ?

I am getting the hang of it. It is a good camera.


Thanks again,

Enrique
