Nice round stars and some good star colour retained Your first post, the more blue image, reminds me of my first shots of NGC 4755 taken through my old 4.5" newtonian with film and Pentax SP1000

Thanks for stopping by, rogerg.
Not bad, because I should be at the same stage of learning that you were at that time. In astrophotography I have only 5 months old, and median quality equipment

Nicely done Jorge,
Always nice to see progression. Did u add the diffraction spikes to your stars post-editing or while u were imaging them?

[naskies (Dave)]

I like the repro!

[jsmoraes (Jorge)]

Thank Dave and Tanja.
Yeah, I am in progress with focus, color and digital processing. And I am happy and proud for it.
The last photo is a new one. Not a repro.
All spikes are natural, no artificial addition.
This forum has pushing me up. With many information, links and turorials.
Thank all you for.

Oops, I meant your stacked version...

Very nice jewel box - thanks for posting it.

Nice images Jorge. The stacked version is very nice though the red colour in the original looks more correct - to the eye anyway. I love the Jewel box. Such a pretty shape and collection of colours.

Thanks for posting,
Cam
