cfpendock Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Having been inspired by Uranium 235’s superb wide view version of the bubble, and having explored Photoshop a bit more, I had another go at this HaRGB image, taken at 850mm. 18 x 20mins ha, 16 x 5mins each RGB. Certainly an improvement over the original, but now I really do need criticsm…… Link to much better quality image: http://astrob.in/full/153237/0/ Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozzy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 That is a cracking image, if only I could get anywhere near that kind of quality.The colour balance is spot on, just a feeling that stars and nebulosity could be a bit sharper? and by the way I am truely no expert!!.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfpendock Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks very much, Tim. That is exactly the sort of comment I needed. It is possible to become too "close" to an image after many hours of processing. I always suppose that subconsciously I assume that if the image is in focus, then the stars which are not overly bright should correct. Anyway, I have done a bit of sharpening of the stars which I agree with you, has given a subtle improvement to the image. The nebula I have left pretty much alone in case it interfered with the bubble itself. Better version where you might actually be able to see the changes here: http://astrob.in/full/153476/0/chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunning image, I'm green with envy .Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfpendock Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks Tim. But I think you were right, although the change was as subtle as I could make it, thanks to you the image is definitely improved.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
