My first attempt at starless

[multiweb (Marc)]

That's very cool. A benchmark Eta. Love the details. Really well processed regardless of the stars. One for the cool wall.

Far better than what I would have espected but not sure if it is my taste.

Thanks. I'm not sure if it's to my taste either. I'm still experimenting but I think the best effect might be a 50% blend of the regular and starless images.

Nice work again Steve!

Can't make up my mind.

I'd like them both hanging on the wall.

Cheers,

Justin.

Hi Steve

I like these starless versions of nebula's, to me I think it allows more finer details to be seen which can be hidden by the shine of the stars.

Nice work

Nice work

Thanks Ric. I agree. Eta Carina is probably a bad example and this technique would really come into its own with faint nebulae in dense star regions.
