Nice capture, Wayne! I hadn't noticed the Great Dark Horse is prancing before.

[Larryp (Laurie)]

That's great, Wayne!

Fantastic work. You would be able to reduce that little bit of lens chromatic aberration (a few magenta star halos) in Photoshop if you have it using selective colour/magenta and play with the sliders, or use saturation/magenta and turn down the saturation for magenta only.

A very deep shot.

Greg.

Thanks Rick, I had not noticed the dark horse in the image now you have mentioned it I see it everytime I look at it.

Thanks Laurie

Thanks Chris, yes i do live at a very dark site but its olso the processing that brings out the detail.

Thanks Jo and Carl

Thanks Greg, I do not have photoshop just startools and gimp I might see if your idea can work in them.

Good stuff Wayne!

To quickly and effectively reduce/remove chromatic aberration around stars in StarTools, have a look at this tutorial on the ST forums.

Cheers,
