Thanks, all you. I was afraid to don't get a good image because of strong winds. But the stars have a good shape. I tried to enhance the color of nebula. It is not bad, but I think that a better mask would do better results. I applied red layer over red layer with two different HDR curves. But I didn't get a good result in cleaning things that wasn't nebula. It was a try. I need more effort with this method to do a good work.

Thank you, Joshua. I would reply later, when a new photo was ready. But with Moon 95 %¨... I gave up.

Good photo Jorge...nice composition.

Thank you, Ross. I know that is too late, but I was waiting for solution with assembly of a filter wheel QHY that I bought, and I only could do any other photo after this.

It was a great problem to assemble Canon, OAG, filter wheel and coma corrector. To deal with focus

This photo needed production of nebula mask to enhance his appearence. It was a good work.

Lovely cluster...nice work Jorge.

[jsmoraes (Jorge)]

thank you, Marc and Atalas. I did a repro, with a little level reduction of green and blue in large photo at Astrobin. It looks better with this.
