Thought Id take a few pics of NGC2359. Took it over some time due to weather conditions. Most subs were taken when the moon was up. Left the stars and background as natural as I could..not too black.

Great job Steve, really well done. I think your levels are spot on.

That looks fantastic! Top image, Steve.

How are you managing to get 5 minute subs without over-exposing everything? Or getting smashed by light pollution?

Cheers,
V

Glad you liked it fellas.
Steveo, left my optolong ultimate in. Cuts light pretty well. But..gradients all over the subs.

Thanks for clarifying - I'm tempted to have a go at this one, but without filters.
