Yes that little smudge down the bottom

I am well chuffed with this! :sunny:

Only saw my first globular cluster last night, managed to capture on film tonight :shock:

Totally un-mucked with, exactly as it came out of the camera.

(If anyone feels so inclined (CW?) I’d love to see what can be done in Photoshop)

Cheers

Oh alright. Just this once mind!

I have just desaturated the 'glob' and brightened it up with the dodge tool in a separate layer and applied Auto levels to the background. Don't know if there is much of an improvement to be honest but did you know you have captured a meteor streak in the top left corner?

Well captured Jon. Nice edit CW.

Well done Jon and you captured more than you thought after CW(photoshop man) had a play.

[rawhead]

Wow a meteor ! :shock: Two for the price of one

Really like what you did with the shot CW. Cheers

Just read you post,Jon and when I checked the image I realised I had posted a working layer,the red border around the cluster is a dead giveaway.

Frantic search in the trash followed........ found it!...... here it is.
