Meade 14" LX200R
SBIG STL-11K
1 hour exposure, RGB

No idea where the red gradient is coming from

Nice detail in the arms, Benny, but the overexposed core detracts from the image.

You should do some layer masking with a shorter exposure (or less processed version) of the core.

Thats a cracker shot Benny, but like Mike mentions you might have to reprocess it and control the burned out central area..Other than that its a fine image!

cheers fellas

I agree with you on the core, I was going to do some shorter exposure to cater for it but the cold and it being about 80% humidity last night caused the scope to fog up lol hopefully I'll get onto it tonight..
