MartinB Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 Thanks Sunshine and Simmo. I was pleased with the outcome especially given the very low surface brightness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinB Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Thank you Fegato. As awways, I'm never quite happy. I haven't made any adjustments to saturation but the colour does look a bit heavy so I've done a little desat and prefer the appearance, for now anyway! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
