Very nice image well done

[Victor_MO]

Nice capture!! Great detail, love the powder line on 4217!!

[RobH]

Very nice rich image with loads going on and finely framed

There's a lot of backgroiund gradient, which I've removed for you using Gradient Xterminator.

I just selected ther background only, and ran it a few times, plus 1 pass of very mild noise reduction using Neatimage, again to the background only.

Cheers

Rob

Thanks for that Rob, I only spotted the gradient AFTER I posted the image!!!

I think I need to process them then walk away for a while, then go back to it!

It doesnt help that I'm red-green colour blind either !!!

Great result, the Ha has worked really well.

Nice clean up on the Gradient Rob.
