The seeing was not too shabby in old Sydney town last night.

Well the weather certainly was much better than we have here by looking at that image Peter, a bloody top shot I reckon, nice work.

Beautiful color, detail, and pleasing to look at.

alot of details peter, very nice certainly. well resolved also with the bright stars without bloating this area. Although the image looks abit flat. I like it with abit of levels on the neb itself. but then, thats just my personal choice.

Fair 'nuff.

True, I could have hit the data with a USM hammer and cranked up the chroma, but I like a more natural, less processed look. As I've said before, fog doesn't have sharp edges

Lovely image Peter, I enjoyed the natural look of the colours and the subtle hues as well.

A lot of great detail and depth in the nebula as well.

Cheers

Nice one Peter. I like it. M20 suits a more lollipop colour saturation, but I do appreciate the more subtle tones. For a straight RGB, its a lovely image. Adding some Ha data would push this to the brink of remarkable.

Cheers

Yes, subtle colour on this one Peter, and I agree, flouresence suits this object. Good detail though, nice work.

I was looking at M20 around 2 hrs ago... If that seeing 'wasnt too shabby' I'd hate to hear what you think of the awesome seeing I had.

The subtle colours in the pink parts look good, how they grade from pink to blue smoothly.
