Anteres M4 and Rho Ophiuchus

[jeff@sa]

This shot was taken last weekend (Friday) at the Bendleby Ranges in the Southern Flinders Ranges. I was using a modded Canon 400D with a 200mm f2.8 lens on a HEQ5 mount and a Synguider auto-guider. The sky was reasonably dark but the temperature didn't drop down much past 18C all evening.

Shot is very good, but I prefer colour with moderate oversaturation …

Dig the Punched up colours which suits this target, Great result Jeff

[Larryp (Laurie)]

Beautiful colours!

[jeff@sa]

Thanks for the comments guys.
Yes, the colours just leaped out of this one.
Some time you just cant seem to get any colour out of a shot.
I took a shot of the LMC before this one and I can't seem to get much colou out of it.

That's a great shot with vibrant colors. I think your saturation settings posterized the blue channel a bit. Back down the histogram and you might be able to fix it and dig some more details too.

[jeff@sa]

Thanks Marc.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I will try that.
Cheers.

Nice capture Jeff.

I like the rich colours and wide composition.

I'd say saturation in general should be tweeked down a little bit.
