Thanks Marcus. The with 4 hours of Ha and Lum on such a bright object it's easy to get detail & nuance out of this object !

Nice result Marcus and a refreshingly different framing too, juuust a bit more FOV at the top of the frame would have been even better but it still looks good. Lot of different interpretations of the colour with this baby huh?


Sometimes I find your 100% full frame posts a little unnecessary as it can show up any pushed processing until you shrink it in the browser but this work lends itself to the 100% full frame quite well and I imagine this is due to the large amount of signal you collected and because there are plenty of little details everywhere so it is cool to pan around, then when you shrink it in the browser and take in the whole image it looks good too.


Good job mate...now what else did you start on?...Just so I don't do the same thing when I eventually get back out there


I was unable to utilise either reasonable night here in Newcastle due to a slight family crisis...always the way

Thanks mate - glad you liked it! It turned out very well and after looking at it this morning I'm still happy I'm not 100% happy with the framing but it will do.

Not sure what you mean about "push" processing though I had a large amount of signal so rendering the detail was trivial and very little stretching was done. It has almost no noise reduction either (other than a small amount to the dimmer areas around the periphery). I.e. Nothing was "pushed"

I post at 100% because I want people to see the detail. Why hide it when it's there and it's real? Moreover detail doesn't detract from an image so presenting this image at 50% would be a total waste of solid detail!
