Pleiades

Pleiades re-work from last years data now I have the benefit of GradientXterminator! Bit of coma going on LHS but I think my collimation was off somewhat.

Very nice. The diffraction spikes set it off nicely.

You've just reminded me - must get Gradient Xterminator :-)

It's a useful plugin (and it works with my lowly Photoshop Elements 12). I tried the 30 days free trial and found it handy for some types of image. What I did find though was that trying different settings until you get the desired effect was essential for each image.

What a dreamy like picture I also apreciate the diffraction spikes... a nice touch

Agree!, a great image!

Nice Image. I use gradient exterminator on 95% of my images using CS3.
