Wonderful image Mike. You make the processing look so natural and easy, but I'm sure its anything but. Top shot.

Thanks a lot Robbo

Seriously, this SX camera is amazingly easy to work with, requiring no darks or flats and coupled to the SX OAG it has opened up a whole new world to me and ma trusty AG12

Yes the SX cam seems to be a gem. I wonder why the other camera makers are not jumping on the Sony bandwagon. They are most likely going to be the manufacturer of the future for astro cam sensors. They are really very dominant on sensors in the camera world now.

Right, this ones yours,I've read the post this time!

Instead of just looking at the pretty picture.

Your galaxy images are always amazing Mike!
You have good eye for colours in galaxies, is there some sort of formula / recipe you work to?

Cheers,

Justin.

Thanks Jeanette, despite the acquisition issues the processing was comparatively easy.

Thanks Justin formula ah yes it was meant to be a secret but since you asked so nicely ....

Seriously, I process like an artist paints, I use my eye a lot I guess. I have style of sorts I guess but every image is a little different and sometimes they are kinda crap too

Cheers Mike

Great shot Mike, nice colours and detail; love the wide field shot also I'd be tempted to raise the black point just a smidgeon above the background noise at the foot of the histogram ... personal preference of course ...

I looked at this image again. Wow, it really is quite an impressive image after seeing the 2 14.5 inch RCOS shots you compared it to.
