Pterodactyl in flight

[Karlz (Karl)]

I redid the processing on this again to fix some of the stars that were giving me grief, even with the few flaws it managed to be in the Top pics of the day on Astrobin.

Here it is again with reworked stars and nebulosity. Even looking now I think I blew out the satch on the latest one.

Change of jobs will give me more time for what I love doing, there are some data sets I'd love to get my hands on to rework it..

That's one trippy field of view, Karl; I have no idea what I'm looking at.



Great detail in the gas/dust clouds and the stars look OK to me.


Cheers,

Excellent work Karl, you have done a great job.

Always is the case, the more data the better it gets.

Lots of acute detail and your processing is top shelf.

Very well done

Thanks guys,

Steve there are a few stars in the top right that are flared out in the 7 o'clock position which are only on the second picture.

Thank you Peter for those encouraging words, I should make a YouTube video on how I get my images the way they are. I use 3 programs atm for the final result.. Something I didn't do a couple months ago..

The 3 main stars in the middle I can see the difference between Startools (a good base program but very limited) and some Photoshop, compared to Pixinsight, Astro Pixel Processor and Photoshop...

I knew it was somewhere Peter
