Darker one Steve - nice image too!

[DobDobDob (Ron)]

I'm voting for the darker one, but my reasons are a secret, and if I told you, well you know how the saying goes ....

[Alchemy (Clive)]

the histogram never lies, the darker one has had the black point brought nicely to the edge of the curve, giving maximum contrast without clipping and losing detail.

darker one for me..... just exercising my voting rights there

Hi Greg

The lens in my FLT110 is TMB designed ... you may recall we've discussed this before mate ... thanks for telling me anyway and thanks for looking at my image.



p.s. If you ever get tired of your 180mm TEC or your BRC250 for that matter ... I've got no money but I could look after them for you

Thanks all ... 100% darker preference so far. I've already posted it on my google website. By the way I like the darker one as well now ... I said it was a toss up between the two ... it's nice to get other opinions

For the tiniest amount of nebulosity you lose, I think the darker one is far more appealing mate. Dark for me.

Nice one too!
