Hi Nik

A widefield of the dragons (and the egg) is always special.

Ya done good, but I want to know why the stars are white (mostly) and a little funky.

Little rings around them (even in the hires).

Is must be induced in processing.

The reason I ask is, I have had the same outcome many times and it's been almost impossible to
work out how to get it right.

Lots of data has been my best solution, and then don't flock with it to much

Anyways, quite spectacular and well done

[Nikolas (Nik)]

I think the stars are due to haloing from the L-Extreme filter, can't seem to get too much colour from them, still a learning process Peter thanks

Nik, that's a great image.

I was always wondering what those dragons where fighting over... Now I know. :-)

Cheers,

Is the title of your thread meant to be read in the tune of Pink Floyd..?

Nice dragons, when my wife, who first coined the name of this area, looked at 6164, she saw it as a magic Pearl

Thanks Mike I think it's both a pearl and an egg we can nickname it a Perlgg

Thanks Ja it ism time consuming and takes some experimentation, worst is getting the stars right and tight.
