neil groves Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I am reasonably pleased with this but would like some advice please, how do I get rid of the redness by the tree? this is a composition of 6 subs each 7 secs, layered in photoshop in screen mode, I adjusted what I could using levels and curves but can't seem to shift that redness without taking the red from the entire image?Neil.

Sandancer10 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hi Neil, I envy you being able to take palm trees and the night sky all in the same image - we just have almost bare trees here now until around April - ho hum. Anyway, the way to get rid of the red is to mask off that area in PS and change the colour balance on that part only - or slightly de-saturate which will take most of it out. ~This leaves the main picture unaffected. Nice wide field image, but you could try taking longer exposures and you will get more detail. I have been using 30 sec, but now I'm onto 1 min and getting better results. Once I get my Polar alignment better I'll be going for longer exposures.Brenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil groves Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks Brenda, the palm tree is in the corner of my garden and i was cursing the fact that it was in the way lolYes when i get tracking ability i will be doing lots of wide field long exposures, untill then i am limited to about 20 mins and thats using lotsof subs depending on the lens i am using.thanks for the comment.Neil.

I have removed a 40foot Leylandi to build my obsy and last weekend I removed 8foot offthe top of a Holly tree so I can see a bit more southwards.
