Les that's a wonderful image of a difficult object to image properly.
Well done.

Hi Les

Fantastic Witch Head, well done. In fact if you look closely I think the old girl might fancy you, I see a smile and a wink

.

Please keep them coming, I have been enjoying your work and am a bit slack that I don't always reply.

Regards
Wayne

Wow, 4 hours of 2min subs. I admire your dedication as much as I admire the image.

Les Tilly · #11 09-03-2009, 05:04 AM

Thanks for the Kind words, I normally do alot more than 4 hours on an image but this one is only visible for a short time before it goes behind a shed I was going to add more time but will wait till next year and move over to do some Galaxys

Les,

Great effort on a very difficult subject. You've managed to avoid any flaring from Rigel and have kept the background consistent.

Excellent work.

Regards,
Humayun

Top image Les, bit like shearing a sheep; looks easy till one tries it for themselves.

Well done.
