Fantastic image.
I'd like to have this as my desktop, will it be available on your website as a hi-res image?
My screen resolution is 1920x1200 and just expanding the available image to fit, doesn't do it justice.

You can select the amount of compression used to get it under 150k.

i mean i use windows paint to resize and save as .jpg from .tif after converting it to 8bit in photoshop cs2.

Eric,

You can just go file then save for web in PhotoshopCS...their you can change your compression for jpeg and how much compression you want.

The final image is a beauty Eric...well done

[EzyStyles (Eric)]

cheers tony. what i did just then was convert to 8bit then in photoshop image, image size eg: 30% then save as .jpg and select level.

Eric,
I think this is a great shot, I can tell the original without compression must be a stunner!
I think that scope of yours at F4 is doing a great job, great field of view and fast too. I'll bet it wont be long you'll be shooting at ISO 200.
Keep it up and keep 'em comin!

[EzyStyles (Eric)]

thanks guys cheers. i didnt use the MPCC on that image. lol iso 200 might be slightly too low. I can always swap my scope with your C9.25 if you want frank
