George! Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Now thats... Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollypenrice Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It's damned good. Bit greeny in the blues for my eye and I don't hesitate to say it because anyone who thinks they've finished with M31 is deluding themselves. Evil grin!! (I speak as one who knows!!) You WILL be back and spam it is not...The arms-core contrast you have is great and so is your penetration into the core. The spiral arms and dust lanes are really convincing and insistent.A fine effort... in progress. Heh heh heh. M31 is a life sentence. Welcome to death row...(Dives for cover...)Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Here we are with the Green Noise reduction and a very slight darkening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy B Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Thats the money shot as they say, its fantastic. I did my first M31 a couple nights ago and was really pleased. Your pic shows just how much scope there is and makes me want to add more data to my own attempt. This version retains the transparent/ethereal look that I find makes galaxies look more real.

JimStan Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Now it looks a bit dark. The image in #7 has more "snap" ! Where did some of your stars go ? ? ? JMHO Jim S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 I Think all of them have plus points, but im struggling to get all these selected plus point into one image.I feel this one has much better detail but the core is a little to bright. and there is an overall redder tint, which seems to have happened since i used Flats.The problem im coming to though is what am I trying to do, process an image or convert something into something that its not... does that make sense?

x6gas Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Nice work Earl.FWIW, the image in post #9 is my favourite but I'd be chuffed to bits with any of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 Thank you for all the comments.I have found out that although I have a core and outer arms.... Well actually I dont at all, all i have is the core.M31My entire image is just the core on that awe-inspiring image !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
