Some really nice detail coming through there Jorges might look good with the colour increased a little?

Thank you Michael. At that night all images were weak in signal/noise. To obtain this result I needed work hard with HDR curve.

No problem, it will be there to shoot again in a better sky

Nice closeup Jorge.

Good resolution Jorge!

A little more colour and it will be great.
What program are you using for post processing?

Cheers.

Justin.

Thank you, Ross e Justin.

I stack with DSS and enhance with Photoshop CS3.

To enhance colors I will need to shoot again. There are not many signals to do it, in this photo, without noise explosion

This might help without the need of adding data.

Hi Jorges

nice image, needs more colour

you are producing a lot of images and getting better and better
Do you go to a dark site or are you imaging at home?

Richard

Hi, Richard. Thank you by visit.

I am imaging at my home, in a beach suburb of city of Saquarema, 100 Km from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. With little light polution and good sky , where still you can see Magellanic Clouds, Eta carina, Orion, M 7 and others with naked eyes. The biggest problems are the constant wind and refraction by the proximity to the sea and some street lighting
