Quick lagoon - revised version(s)

[rustigsmed (Russell)]

Hi all,

I was out for the Uranus moon occultation so nabbed some lagoon. Could only use half the data for various reasons dew/cloud/focus, but my previous efforts were with serious mini data on a goto dob, so this feels like MEGA data in comparison (not that i've ever gone mega... baby steps).

Hourglass blown out on my dslr but it still has a 3d feel to it. might go back for a NB version at a later date (if the weather ever clears up).

eq8, 3 min subs, cls ccd, ~40 mins

edit: de-greened version https://www.flickr.com/photos/803366...ream/lightbox/



edit again ... ok a third version, i thought the second lost a bit of the colour variation. https://www.flickr.com/photos/803366...blic/lightbox/



Cheers,

(and sorry mike i didn't intentionally make this red via processing its just how it ended up ... i assume from using lab mode - i always seem to red clip in there ... no matter the target )

Nice one. All the sharp bits in the right places. Very tidy shot.

Nice one Russ. The image has a crisp feel to it. Not certain of the colour, its too green for my liking. If you drop the green channel using curves you may end up with a more visually pleasing result with some of the blue starting to show through. Comes down to personal taste. I think to get any imaging done in Melbourne has been a challenge of late. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah that's a cracker Russ.
Damn straight about this weather! Somebody has bought something damn good in the last 6 months!!!

Thanks for the tip Jase, below is a link with less green and more blue. Might have another go and turn down the vibrancy abit. Fingers crossed weather pics up hey..

Cheers Scotty I think you're right I'm thinking it's Greg's fault at the moment.

(apart from the Red hue) it looks pretty good Russ and I agree with Jase about the green but yes, just getting an image is a good thing
