NGC 4565

would love to hear peoples comments and suggestions how i can improve, this is about my first proper attempt to have a crack at colour, although i think i need to get some more colour data for it.

taken with a SBIG ST-8300m 5 min exposers on a 8" RC.

My word - that's classic - lovely edgewise on view of a galaxy with great detail

Hi Glen

Looking great!

If you don't mind me saying - I think its a little black clipped and the contrast has been pushed a tad too far. Try a curve to push the galaxy arms up a bit without making the dust lane go black.

The data all seems there though.

Looks cool to me

cheers for the comments, i will have another play with it later today rob.

HI Glen, that is really good. i do agree with Robbie, the black a bit clipped & pull back a bit on sharpening/contrast

other than that, you have a great capture
