Looks good in the larger version Mike ... very good for only 42 minutes.

Hi Mike,

Thats certainly one to be pleased with, especially considering the conditions. Those ED80s never cease to amaze me.

Well done,

David

Thanks to everyone for your comments. Much appreciated.

Thanks Louie, nice to see you again. Your gallery is looking very nice indeed. I met Zane up at IISAC2008 for the first time, a lovely guy.

Mike, Good to see some of your work again. I don't think this image would be as half as spectacular if you didn't have access to the modded 350D. This has really brought the image to another level. Processing looks good, though there appears to be more data hidden that could be extracted. Nothing like playing with the data over and over to see how far you can take it. Perhaps overlay a heavily stretched layer and mask it to manage any noise that maybe introduced in the process. Look forward to seeing more.
