The linked "original" image looks good now Greg. A softer looking version to the previous ones. Maybe just a little too blue, but only just.

Thanks Paul. I reposted it with the blues pulled back a little. The nice blue tones are one of the features I like about the image. I think the Zeiss lens has performed really well here with colour. Usually those nice blues are something I associate with Canon cameras. Its funny we show our distant galaxy images as quite bluish yet images of our own galaxy often don't show much blue at all.

Ah yes!! Now this version is just magic!

I thought the first version was a bit "hammered", but probably to be expected when one is getting used to new powerful tools.

Cant wait to see more, Greg!

Good to see you embracing PI Greg.
You've got a keeper image there now.

Thanks Rod. Despite being an experienced image processor I think from time to time its possible to have failures. Using a poorly calibrated monitor here on a relatively new laptop was part of it, part of it was not not watching the histogram enough. Anyway this site can be quite educational.
I have a few more from that series.

Thanks Rodney. I am enjoying the learning curve.

Love this section of sky and well captured. A tad blue maybe, but that can be a subjective thing.

Would be really pop with some Ha added, but difficult with a DSLR without astro or full spectrum modification - it would be interesting how a modded A7r would go.

Nice details in the pipe nebula and resolved the snake nebula well!

Thanks Troy. Just so you know I have not accentuated the blue in processing particularly. I think it may come from the lens's colour throughput. But more images will tell over time.

A modded a7r could be pretty good. I am thinking of upgrading to a7rii so keeping the a7r and getting it modded is an appealing idea. This 36mp Exmor sensor is still one of the best of all time.
