m81&m82 repo

[Daniel-K]

Hi all heres a repo of m81 and m82 from december its a big crop because of the camera orientation was differnt on the nights its probably about 20% of the FOV from the F4 quattro. this is way better then my first attempt im pleased with this one

4 hours @180 sec subs from LP liverpool

iso 800

canon 450d

Thats very good you have really got the centre of m82 showing with the red coming through nicely

[Daniel-K]

it deffently looks better in PS then on here though it is jpeg

Am I seeing dark halos around the galaxies? Possibly a jpeg artifact.

Still I shouldn't critisise too much as It'll be a long time till I can do anything that good.

Nice

Very nice, is it the 8" or 10" quattro you ahve?

I noticed this and I assume it's due to gradient removal.

I did use gradient ex but only a weak pass. I think it was when I quick masked the background and left the galaxies uncoverd so I could so a sat boost with out doing it on the whole image. My skills are limited but im pleased so I may have another go
