F ratio 4.6
F length 35mm
ISO 800
13 x 300 sec

HEQ5 Mount -Autoguided with Orion Star-shoot

Image stacked in DSS and Processed in CS3

Questions, Comment's and Advice as always, will be welcomed.
Cheers,

Trent

I love wide fields! This one's no exception.
Raising the saturation a few points to enrich the colours would be nice.

Trent and Julie,

This is kickass. Consider it abstractastrophotography.

Kind of like how in landscapes, sometimes people shoot close-ups of plants or snowflakes, or a lone leaf on a twig of a branch. Something a little different yet still conveys a message and evokes an emotion.

That's what we all strive for as artists.

Keep it up, guys.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments and advice,

I bumped up the saturation a little bit, in response to jjj's suggestion. I like the way it has turned out.

Thanks Heaps!

Trent

Just an update,
I found this image in the hotshots section of "Sky at Night" today, which was a nice suprise. This is a first for me.
