Hi all,
just put some colour to a lum composite I aquired last week.
Have been waiting for the sky to clear free from cloud and was lucky enough tonight.
Yep, another 253, but it is such a great object to image, nice and bright with some nice detail to show.... how can one ignore it as each year she passes round.... nope, you just can't can you!

Here's the link if your interested.... take the left thumb, not that you could mistake it..

Hope the weather has been kind to you all and your getting out doing what you love!

Cheers for now
Rich

Top image Rich, full of detail and colour. It definitely gives the impression of a big island floating in space.

great stuff

Thanks heaps for the comments Dennis, Ric, Gary, Scott, Bill and Tony.
I wasn't sure why I got the colour blend that I did, was too much on the redish side and didn't have the typical salmon, yellowish colour as I've generally got with this object, so I've done a rehash.
It was me not individually processing correctly to each channel.

I have created another thread with the corrected version.
Hope you'll check this one out as well, I think its better.

Cheers guys
