yes the air in nsw hasnt been good, i like the scale but it does look a tad soft. colour look good

I took on board the softness and reprocessed the image to see if I can regain some sharpness.

I was more picky on the luminance subs and threw out 5 of them that were the soft ones. The remaining 6 were the sharpest of the bunch of about 15.

I think this one is considerably sharper but if still soft then its as far as I can take it without fresh data taken at a time of better seeing. One of the limitations of this game - the seeing.

Mate! You've tightened the stars up a bit but I'm afraid they're now looking overcooked! Looks to me like you've applied a lot of decon. You've clobbered your colour balance too reducing the dynamic range of the red and blue channels considerably.

Your original version had great colour (except for the blue cast), so even with the soft focus I'd vote for it as being the better of the two.

Cheers, Marcus

Yes I think you're right there Marcus. I softened the stars a tad and made a blend from the older and the new using the colour of the old more and the sharper detail of the new.

Looks a better result now and perhaps as much as I can get out of that run. Same links.

Cheers
