I like this.... The colours are subtle and subdued and it brings a rather flat... In my opinion....object to life. A very nice image indeed.

that must be on the 8 inch pds right? what is the focal length on that. im curious about the focal ratio

[toxic]

thanks Pete,

Adam it is on the 200 pds and it is 1000mm FL the picture has a slight crop all round because there are some subs from a different orientation.

I had a go at this last year- not as good as your image as light pollution is a big challenge from where I image but I'm learning to deal with it. I have developed new techniques which I am trying. If they work I will let everybody into the secret!
