Thanks guys. A bit limited by town glow for exposure length, have street lights on 3 sides, will have another go with more subs.
Had a play with Photoshop this morning and got it a little better.
Hi Bill, A very nice start to your Galaxy collection. The image does look a little on the green side on my monitor but a small tweak on the levels slider will darken the background. A little mor stretching in levels and curves will probably lift the galaxy and darken the background to give a very pleasing result.
Take a copy up to John and ask for his help. He can help you a lot with processing.
Bill Hope you don't mind. I had a little fiddle and just made a change to how the 3 colours were aligned in the histogram and lifted the blue just a touch.
Hey Glen, I hope too that you don't mind but i did a little to your image as well. I've been doing this all night with my own attempt but your image had way more to work with. I adjusted the levels and curves in photoshop, then created a new layer with the original and a mask. I pasted the new image into the mask and blurred it and made the opacity around 50%. Then merged the layers down. STEVE.
No worries guys, play with it as you wish
I'm still a total novice when it comes to photoshop and your getting far more out of it than I can with the Raw images. Having another run tonight with longer exposures and more of. Will see how they come out in the morning.
Some nice detail present and the dust lanes show up quite well.
