More M3 images

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

I had better luck catching some photons the other night, but a devil of a job to get a processed image that I like.

Here's the first go

Then another go

Although the first image has well(ish) defined stars in the centre, it still doesn't look as much like its supposed to as the second. However the second has lost some core detail I think, due to being burnt out.

What do you guys think?

I like them both to, but the core stands out more in #2 ...

Thanks for the comments. It looks like the jury is still out then on which is nicer.

My identity was modified (don't know who by) as a result of me announcing that I'm expecting an addition to the family.

Great work, nice tight round stars.

The first one for me is a bit more natural looking,though they both look a bit cliped to the black point.
