M20 repro

Cloudy weather = Repro Time

This was originally imaged on the 27th of May, using the RC8 and the 550D.
12x8min @ iso800
The first rendition was rather flat and the back ground was off colour.
This time I boosted the red and blue channels in both Saturation and Curves and set the black point in Curves as well. (I think I went too far with that though and clipped it )

The first image is the repro.

Jeanette,

Nice image! The new version certainly has a sense of depth to it and I like your star colours, something I really have trouble with in my images (I'm working on it...).

Beautiful image Jeannette. Nice tight round stars. What mount and guiding did u use?

yep it's better than the first. I like mostly the fact that the background is a lot darker (blacker) i don't know the correct term haha but it certainly makes the stars colour pop and give a better depth to the image. Big fan of the detail in the Neb.
