LDUNN1 38 Posted August 11, 2011 ......taken on 9th/10th Aug 2011 from my back garden......M51 is a bit low for imaging, & disappeared behind some trees, so I had a limited number of subs......& a fair bit of light pollution......not a good mix really, still it helps develop the post process skills that I know I am short on......

Martyn_Bannister 10 Posted August 11, 2011 Excellent shot, considering :) How many subs? What length? Link to comment
LDUNN1 38 Posted August 11, 2011 13x5min at 1600iso. I've probably over processed, I've been trying out loads of new things on the processing side.the result looked 'okay' when I was doing it, but it looks like the shrinking to 1200px & jpg compression has done horrible things to the IQ......it now looks like a water colour!!!I'll have to play some more with it.

shaunster 20 Posted August 12, 2011 Looks like your cliiping the black point or very near to it and probably losing some detail because of it. The very dark black backgrounds looks quite unnatural.Dark halos around stars indicate over sharpening of the image. Link to comment
LDUNN1 38 Posted August 12, 2011 excellent feedback Shaun - many thanks......I have a tendancy to over do things on the PP side. I'll take a closer look at the points you identified & have another play. Cheers! Link to comment
