Hi everyone

Who else wants to hit the saturation slider?!

Then of course haze to the south and clear everywhere else; managed only an hour or so.

Thanks for looking:)

Not easy to get a good sparkle in cluster images but this has it.

Yeah, thanks. We used short (120s) frames. I wonder if that's the way to go for clusters...

Could be. I guess you want the signal concentrated in the stars. Most of us in DS imaging are struggling to drag out the faint stuff whereas in a cluster you're probably better off without it.

That's as good as I have seen for a cluster, cracking job you have done.

That's so pretty! And that's just newt spider vanes causing those lovely spikes?

Thanks for your comment.

Yes, it's the vanes. If you don't have vanes, I think  there are algorithms for introducing them.
