CELESCOPE Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi Barry , takes a while sometimes before ppl reply, a good effort on that one . like Roy says , this is a pretty hard one to get right , took me a year and a better set up before i could get a really nice one, the core needs to be very small , and very good skies to get that outer section just right , so keep at it , you will get there . under good skies 60 secs to 2 mins should give you a good image , then use the ddp part in Maxim for reducing the core to pin point, but to do this you do need a good outer section.Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkis Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I like your picture Baz, but I had to laugh at Captain Scarlet's quip about the Mysterons. No offence mate. Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinB Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Looking good Baz. The outer bits have plenty of detail. The white point is clipped so that even in the darker regions there are areas that are a bit burn't out. To reduce the core burn out you can always use an image with less stretching, lasso the core with a decent bit of feathering and paste it onto a brighter image. Takes a bit of practice but it can work very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
