Christams tree

Images taken on the 26th Feb 31x2.5min D2 filter and 28x2.5min NB1 filter. Ive realized i  really need to start adjusting focus during the night as temperature differences and seeing conditions have shown me in this image. Looking at my RAW images a huge difference can be seen from the beginning of the evening. Also the christmas tree is reasonably low on the horizon for me with a lot of light pollution so im pleased to get this result.

Nice work Ken, you've captured the reflection nicely along with the cone.  The background is rather green and I think it would look better still if you could rebalance the background bias by tweaking the levels in the different colour channels.

Yea thanks Martin I’ll have a look at that this evening. Really appreciate your comments.

I've had a quick look on pixinsight and tried to re-balance the colour this time favouring red for the halpha. Its not perfect by any means but a marked improvement from the green cast! Again really appreciate the comments there is so much to learn in this hobby!
