Nice night last night.

L= 30 @ 5 Min's and RGB 10 @ 5 Min's each, 5 hours in total for this one.

Taken through my 10" newt with a Starlight express HX916 CCD.

colour is a bit blotchy in places so might have another go at processing it later.

Thanks for the kind comments all.

I wasn't sure about the colour so I had another go this time I held back a bit on the stretching too.......

I prefer the first one Martin as you have a gradient introduced in the 2nd one...probably be easy to get rid of...

[MikeD]

Thanks, saw that after posting.

An absolute cracker.

[Whippy]

I like the original as it goes, the redone versions have a greeny tint to them. Saying that, they're all fantastic images . Great work Mike!

What a lovely shot Mike.

I think the first one is more neutral on my monitor, but the detail in the galaxy is just great.

Utterly fantastic Mike...really is ...

[FLO]

Beautiful Nice silky-smooth tones.

[Beyond_Vision]

A cracking image Mike perfect guiding and focus too. I think I prefer the first image as the others have a green tint to the stars

Lovely, also version 1 for me

[barkis]

I'm just pleased to see so many variations of the same superb Galaxy Mike.

I'd be delighted to have any one of them in my DSO Album. (When I make one that is. :laughing2:)

That's a very nice image Mike (version 1 for me)

I'd be more than happy to produce an image like that, well done m8.

[MartinB]

Fantastic result again Mike. I think I prefer the background sky in the second but like the galaxy in the 2nd

[Sam]

Brilliant Mike! a very very nice image

Number one on my screen Mike is the best. Lovely image. Colours good, background great and the stars are nicely shaped right out to the edges. Top stuff

Cheers guys for the feedback.

Not sure about the green hue to the stars, can't see it on my monitor but as more than one person is seeing it it must mean my settings need adjusting.

the first one i let maxim scale the colour and the second one I put the RGB together in photoshop and tried to keep the colour as close to how it came out the camera as i could .

Still I have the data and can now play with it at will.

Mike.

[MartinB]

I didn't notice it Mike but having another look there is a tiny hint of green, pretty subtle though.

[MikeD]

Thanks again guys.

A tweak to the colour balance.
