NGC 4725 and NGC 4712

I managed to get some more Luminance on this target and now have a total of 19 x 10 minutes and 3 x 15 minutes I have re-processed all the LRGB data and this is my effort now.

A good attempt at targets that are surprisingly difficult to capture well.

The image to my eyes is either slightly out of focus or poor seeing conditions making it look soft. The stars have a few registration issues but again this can be caused by bad seeing changing the refraction of the light through different filters. The smoothing as a consequence of the background flattening has perhaps removed the detail from the galaxy. This is exactly what happened in my M31 image & the only way I could deal with the noise without wrecking the galaxy was to throw out most of the noisy subs.

You have some noise in the galaxy core which would be good to deal with.

I hope I've not been to harsh with my criticism- it's only by observations that we can strive to make better images & if it's any consolation I'm always getting objective comments because some of my images are still......BAD!!
