But is the red over done? Just that many of the stars have a red fringe. I don't profess to know much about DSOs so take what I said with very little experience on my part.
Amazing how well it goes for F10 shooting, goes to show you dont have to shoot at fast f ratios with modded DSLR's. For a good idia of "correct" colour of the Dumbell this is a useful page. http://www.astrodon.com/oldsite/ColorExposure.html
Mine you blue was lacking in the other nights state of origin, lol.
That would be due to the optics Lester....unless you go for a high priced ED refractor or somehow to get rid it without damaging your image i'm afraid we will have to live with it.
You can reduce this in imagesplus with the halo reduction tool but I am just trying to keep the processing down as much as possible as I over do it most of the time.
Thanks for your reply Tony, I can live with that small bit of fringe. I suppose to get rid of it you would need a telescope costing double what your refractor did. Some times common sense must prevail.
nice pic but im sure it has more blue . in my pics of this it looks a bit iridiscent like an opal.nice focus,
