Eastern and Western Veil, please criticise

Attached are a couple of re-processes from a project last year that of course ground to a halt.

Both are processed in a similar manner with PI but I have tried to be gentle and avoid any "oily" look to the background sky. I am looking for c&c about how I can improve what I have done. I do know I want more data and would like to return to this later in the year; both images only have 7 x 15 mins Ha and O111 each. Flats, bias and cosmetic correction applied. Both taken with my 152/1200 at native.

Thanks for looking

Very nice images.

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

That looks very good to me

Wow! Can't help at all other than to say that they look rather splendid!

I Like them. The processing looks invisible. (An oxymoron, I know, since if it's invisible it doesn't 'look' anything at all but you know what I mean!)

With the signal you have it's hard to see what you might want to work on. Is the background maybe a tad high? Might you be able to tease out a touch more difference between the very faintest wisps and the background? (I'd do that in Curves using a pin to hold the background and a tiny stretch above that.) But these are great.

Have you considered a monochrome rendition in HaOIII? It can look very striking.

I think these look good to be honest. You've managed to keep some of the finer faint detail in the background that can easily be lost. I don't think that the backgrounds look over done either. That bright star in the second has been well controlled ..... very nice images

[ampleamp]

Thanks all and especially to Olly and Sara for your advice. You both set the bar very high, but that is a good thing ;-)

Olly, I am slowly slowly developing a combination of PI and PS for my processing; i will have a go at what you suggest re curves but thanks again for your encouragement

They are very nice images and great detail

[symesie04]

err i would criticise if i could but both are lovely.

[gorann]

They are both just fantastic! Very nice and soft and yet with a lot of detail. Like the others note, I cannot set how they could be improved with more data, unless maybe, if you decide to make wallpapers - on my screen they are perfect.

PS. can you give some details on scope and camera?
