Back to greyscale practice :-((

Luca,
The image is lovely! The detail incredible. And, it looks like you could pull out lots of subtle detail in the darker areas if you push the data a little. Man that setup of yours is really something special. Nicely done.

Opinions wanted please on the post processing

Posted By Tyler Allred
Floyd,
I like the first one better. The colors look better to me and I also like the smoother transition into the bright core of the galaxies better than the more abrupt transition in the second image. Overall, the image looks great!
Cheers,
Tyler

M42 from Foggybottom Obs.

Posted By Tyler Allred
Hello Gary. Nice image. You even managed to capture the Running Man nebula pretty well too!

You chose a hard object for a learning imager. M42 has such a wide range of brightness that it is very difficult to capture. If you get the dimmer areas to show up, the brighter areas go completely white. Most experienced imagers try to use a range of exposures to capture the bright and dim areas, and then combine them in Photoshop or some other software package. This technique allows the entire range of brightness to retain detail, but it requires more advanced processing skills. You might want to give it a try. Here is a link with some info you might be interested in reviewing:

Take a look.... and keep on posting those images!

Nice image Anjal! You are starting to show some pretty good detail there despite the short exposure length of the subs. Will the camera take longer subs as well?

Very nice image Robert! Strange looking critters....

Bald Eagle

Posted By Tyler Allred
Sweet image Bob! The detail in the face and tail is very nice. Those areas are often overexposed on Bald Eagles. The clipped wing really isn't a problem for such a nice image.
Cheers,
