What an image! Proves what skills do, as I have pretty much the same setup but achieve nothing like it! Inspiring to see what can be done.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Trevor. As you can see I am making good use out of the ED120 you sold me. It was a very good purchase.

Carole, one last point about reducing colours and applying them selectively. I use photoshop a lot and my favorite way of dealing with colours now is to duplicate the image then reduce or increase colours just using the rgb channels with curves. After I have done that I apply a hide all layer which hides what you have done. I then use a soft brush with reduced opacity and flow to gently paint back the colours where I want them. I did a tutorial for it as part of 13 tutorials here. Hope that helps QM

Very well done Carole. I am still trying to image the Horse Head nebula but with my unmodded 20D and a lack of good subs it still eludes me. Still I'll keep trying.

That's a nice image Carole, I'll be happy to produce something half as good as this once I have captured enough data!

Cheers,

Thanks Nytecam for your comments, I must admit I was quite surprised to get what I did from London suburbs.
