Damn...that's sharp enough to cut steel!!!!

Not bad for no flats or darks, and cruddy viewing

Well, had a little more time this weekend, so i done a better half ass job this time. Spent a little longer processing it, looks better now.

awesome..the reprocess looks really good

[AlexN]

Reprocess is AMAZING!

The entire image still looks a little red.. I've got to wonder if maybe your LPS filter is the cause?

Stars also seem to have no colour, apart from red... However as I said. the image is amazing.. Definitely shows what your setup is capable of...

I'd love to capture such detail!!

Alex.

Not bad, but a little too overcooked due the black "sharpening" doughnuts

[Gama]

Hmmmmm, Donuts ..

Hey Theo what reducer did you use with this, probably a tad too red but I'm also wondering what Pete emant by doughnuts

If you aggressively apply a sharpening filter you get an artifact that looks like a black ring..or doughnut...around the stars.

These rings are not real...or in the data as such...they are simply a by-product of heavy processing
(obvious in the cropped/enlarged attachment )

[TrevorW]

Oh now I see, ta

[Gama]

Also known as black eyes. So anyone want one ?

Also come from using the "High pass filter" option too.

They are fantastic images Theo.

I find the sharpness and depth of them quite stunning.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
