Nice sky, despite of strong winds that caused problems with guiding task.

Just beautiful Jorge, with all those different exposures you've captured a whole lot of detail, it's not often that you see the trapezium in the centre. Great detail overall!

[sheeny (Al)]

Very nicely done! Lots of detail and preserved the trap!

[DJT (David)]

Great image. Nicely done on the processing

[jsmoraes (Jorge)]

Thanks, David, Al and Carlos.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Beautifully processed.

[rmuhlack (Richard)]

Excellent work there Jorge - both M42 and the mosaic with the Running Man

[Jen]

nice pics keep em coming its great to see my fav object back in the sky again

[ourkind (Carlos)]

I love the clarity in these images, loving your work Jorge

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Excellent handling of the bright area there Jorge, the handling of this area is rarely done well, with the blending almost always looking obvious but you have done a seamless job here

Nice one Jorge, I agree you have processed the central area very well, it looks great. Thanks for the view.

Hi Jorge,

You've really done our favourite nebula justice here with blending in the shorter exposure trapezium!

I do feel though that your data perhaps has a little bit more detail to give than you are showing us here by more carefully managing your dynamic range (example attached).

Cheers,

[Regulus (Trevor)]

They are both very good but I especially like the M42 and Running Man mosaic, Very well done - Trevor

IVO - enjoyed your example too. Lots of detail. Thx

[Osirisra (Ken)]

Very nice shots, great to see the trap like that, well done!

[jsmoraes (Jorge)]

Thanks, all you by comments. Really the process was well done. But, undoubtly I must learn much more. The example of Ivo showed it. Special thanks to you, Ivo. I will try a repro.

[Ross G]

A great looking photo Jorge.

Very nice detail and colour.

One of your best photos.


Ross.

[naskies (Dave)]

Great work, Jorge! Looks very smooth.

[jsmoraes (Jorge)]

Attempt of repro, with a method different from processing. It emphasized more the blue color, and unhappily a bit more of noise. Though the image appear to be more sharp, I think that I prefer the most reddish version.

They look great to me Jorge!
