M109

Well, what can I say about this one?

Although the focusing looks OK, judging by the diffraction spikes, it all looks too "soft". And the colours - I know it's a subjective thing, but do they look "right"? Maybe '109 is just difficult to process correctly OR it just need more/longer subs.

I'd possibly put it down to the carp transparency at the moment - its deceptive... still a very nice image though

Oh good, it's not me then, just the conditions.
