oh very sweet Billy, this is very nice and loads of subs in there..

Great to see you posting again, know the feeling with the clouds at the moment.

I have been trying different things with the recent break in the clouds.

Love this shot but have a go at toning down the red channel a bit, would be interested in the result.

[Psychobilly]

The brown stuff is supposed to be there... go and search out deep images and see how much dust is in the region...

like this one ...

You could try telling Noel Carboni and Greg Parker to tone down their image as well then...

I did it myself (reduce the red channel) and it didn't look as good

We are all artists at the end of the day

Love u xx

Beautiful Peter,

Without doubt, your best image to date. (ever)?

Very well processed and I knew there was more detail behind that 'Horse'!

The colour is, well, spot on.

A benchmark for all DSLR users.

I'm glad you posted this, just before you went on holiday!!!!!

Barry.

Cheers Barry ... at 8 1/2 hours with the ickle 72 its in the diminishing returns region now.. so time to try and joint it up with something else if i get another 4-5 clear nights in the next week or so... hopefully have a few more to post when I get back

I can't find the words that would do this image justice, so simply stunning will have to do. Now can someone help me pick my jaw up off the floor....Good to have you back posting Peter.

Beautiful image Peter, and the framing is just perfect

As Barry said, this really is a benchmark for all DSLR users.

Cheers

Daggnabbit Peter..!

Just when I thought I was improving and catching up you pull this out the bag!

Love that brown matter mate...

Out of interest are you using flattener?

Lovely Job Billy

[barkis]

A1 job Peter. Lost none of your skills mate.

Nice to see your work on the board again.

Ron.

Very nice Peter, I'd agree with the comments about your best to date. That flame nebula is lovely and smooth to the edges without losing the detail. Colours spot on too, and nice to see the stars with colour too.

What's next?

[NickH]

Welcome back!

[Psychobilly]

Cheers all...

This year has been pretty dire so far.. but had a few opportunities to get out over the last week thanks to the easterly flow... I know its been a nightmare for the east coast brigade but i get a similar problem once the westerlies start up again..

I'm playing about with t few new things... new to me anyway to try and get ready for Galaxy season.. and also had a dabble at planetary and lunar...

Images are going to be fewer and far between than they used to be.. as the absolute minimum depth for DSO's will be 8 hours although I might get away with less for some things... The intermediates wont be posted anymore although there maybe tweaks to the "final" image...

Cheers,

Peter...

Spectacular Peter. I remember a couple of years ago you were having a go at capturing the dust beneath the horse. You've succeeded with style.

[JCJC]

Superb image Peter. Particularly like the detail under the flame.
