I know we all do this one but it's fun to share. I am still learning the ropes with RGB but was pleased with this .It consists of 5 x 4 min exposures stacked deep sky stacker and tweaked in CS 2. Regards , Trevor

Learning the ropes you may be but its a cracking image... colour balance needs a slight tweak thats all...

Thanks Billy . Big improvement there. I seem to struggle mixing the colours. Where did you make the adjustments in PS ? Trevor

[daz]

It has such a tonal and colour range though, it makes an ideal target to cut your teeth on Trev!!

<he says, having never got round to actually imaging it!!>

[Trevor N]

Thanks Daz. What a dumb question I just asked of Billy . It's actually called colour adjustmment in CS2. Have just found it myself. Bit like the old school report. Tries hard but could do better . Oh well onward and upward , Trevor

[daz]

Always upwards mate - always upwards!!!!

[Psychobilly]

Sorry Trevor,

Missed your question last night but seems like you have found it yourself... like all thinks in image processing there are a few different ways to make the adjustments.

Very good capture Trevor, and Billys colour adjustment has done it justice.

Cheers

Your Image is excellent Trevor, and somehow I liked your version, although Peter's tweak has transformed it to what is

deemed to be the more regular colour of the Neb.

Like Daz; I have not Digitally Imaged the nebula, but I did it on film, but not nearly as good as this.
