That's an inspirational image Martin!
Sadly i realised after getting my attempts at M8 over the weekend that i way under exposed/didn't do enough exposure for my M8, looks nothing like yours!

I love how you've processed this one Martin. Very natural.

That is a great image! Love the field size and framing.

Thanks again folks, and sorry for the belated reply - I was in hospital overnight (having a two keyhole nebulae drilled in my knees) so just catching up now.

cheers

Nice shot Martin. It lacks a bit of intensity and depth though. Background star colours look quite good which is the usual battle for this area.

Belated congrats Martin - a gorgeous image indeed

Now can you please go back and re-image it so that the 3 main subjects are more centred! My brain keeps wanting to pan UP!

Cheers, Marcus
