Very nice Houghy. As far as banding goes, doesn't that just mean the image has been pushed too hard and its showing the pattern noise of the sensor or is it some other thing?
Greg.
yes thats true - -but it is also added to when you dont apply darks - thought i pressed the button to do 20 x 10min shots but mist have missed it on the way out of the observatory on sat morning
This is a fabulous image Dave, especially considering where it was taken from. It has a lovely darkish sinister look to it like it is really hovering in the dark night sky - nice job
Mike
thanks Mike - appreciate that
think how much better it would have been with more data..... maybe next month given this weather
There is some amazing detail there in the horsie himself. Well done.
I'd suggest that your third rendition is over-saturated. I actually would like to see a blend of the luminance/brightness detail from your first shot, with the shadow detail in your second rendition. There is a heap of detail still to be brought out in your image (I had a very quick play in Photoshop, I'm that starved of photons).
