Knight of Clear Skies Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Nice composition with the foreground. The 8 spoked stars work well in this image I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physopto Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hi mike,New you would get a nice image out there. I just wish my eyes could see what a CCD sees at times. I also see you are now onto a two battery trip. Glad you both got home OK. RegardsDerekSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyscope Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Thanks everyone for positive feedback ...I processed this in a rush and as a result processed in the wrong colour space so when posted overall came out a little too dark... note to self ....don't try to process when tired!Derek, thanks yes safely home, car now in garage, thankfully alternator is fine ...just the belt had been slipping, the timing belt is also now being done so hopefully get the van back soon and can enjoy some remote imaging without fear of a one way trip.
