Lagoon Repro

Decided on reprocessing some data I took a few weeks ago. I think I like this better

Good shot for some of your first images Peter, the only thing that i can really pick is that you have a little bit of flexure happening as can be seen by the slightly elongated stars at about 80 degreesish orientation.

Processing overall isn't bad at all but as you get better at it you will start retaining star colours (it took me two and a half years to start getting colours out of stars on my canon 40D).

Good luck and keep up the work you will get there.

Brendan

Hi again Peter,
Now this is even better.
I prefer the colour of this one too.
I hope you get some longer subs tonight.
I'm eagerly waiting to see how they turn out.

Cheers,
Ken.

This is my effort for the night. The extra exposure is really nice.

Just recieved my mpcc, im very excited to use it because it eliminates a 1.25 inch t piece I was using that was causing me alot of vignetting. Also because now I should be able to use the full frame that I shoot. YAY!

Hi Peter,
Those 2 latest pics look even better.
I can't decide which I like more.
I really like the colour of the first but then the second shows more of the clouds or dust or whatever the technical term is.
Either way both look great.
With the MPCC you have another toy to play with too.

Cheers,
Ken.
