30 subs, making up 1hr exposure of the Crux, Pointers area, taken on a home made star tracking mount.

Nice Andrew. Only thing I would do is boost the star saturation via a mask and apply that to the image. Nice image.

Nice shot Andrew but I have to agree with Paul. A small tweak to the red and blue saturation makes the image rise on the screen.

Very good Andrew. A pleasing image. I personally would like to see if it could be lightened a tad. The colours boost already mentioned would be nice too. A 1 hour image should have it in it to do it.

Greg.

Very nice picture Andrew.
It could be my monitor but it looks a bit dark and has a greenish tint to it.
