Here is my M45 image from last night extremely pleased with this one

Great amount of data and nice crisp stars. But if i can be honest you might have over done it with the blue! And also may have made the background a bit to black (i know that sounds a odd thing). But as i say great data and real potential there.

you should be pleased its a very nice image, lots of nebulosity around the stars! the image on the whole does look a little blue on my monitor though.

i think it was down to rushing processing at 04:30 this morning lol here is a rework of it

You have done a great job improving the 1st to get the 2nd result.

[broca]

Nice upgrade from image 1 to image 2!

[tekkydave]

Nice one

[Beulah]

2.0 does it for me. Well done, Gareth.

[ScottS]

I actually quite like the first image.

[Astro_Gaz]

cheers for the honest feedback guys, it helps us grow

[peter shah]

The second looks more natural...get my vote ....nice work

[Mr Bergman]

My vote goes to No2! You could get rid of the vignetting by taking some flats I guess! 

[symesie04]

A vast improvement, very nice.

[LeeWilky]

I like them both tbh   The first has a really cold and dark atmosphere to it.  Thanks for sharing its always a pleasure to view stunning pictures.

[sologuitarist61]

Both great images, but the reworking is more subtle, well done!

[andyo]

The second one for me I think its a very nice capture, agree with Mr Bergman about the flats

[MikeMc]

Wow, both show some great data capture, second one for me - more natural, good job!

[Zakalwe]

Definitely the 2nd one.

An artificial flat would help with the vingnetting too.

[nightvision]

1st image is magical!

[Quatermass]

Great shot like the second image better you drew out more detail in that one ah the joy of processing. ;-)

[Astro_Gaz]

cheers for the feedback guys i have now added real flats, and dark flats

thats well cool. 

[sologuitarist61]

Nice!

[kirkster501]

Very nice indeed.  Personally I think the star spikes are a little overdone for my taste but acknowledge these are a "marmite" thing; you love them or hate them.

[symesie04]

Wow those flats have made one hell of a difference. Some cracking images on your site Gareth, good stuff.
