Hi Ty. smile

I think overall the image looks great. There is a bit of a red bias to the image, on my monitor anyway,(damn light pollution) otherwise great shot. Kudos.

Thats a great image Tom. I don't think I've seen that much detail in this object before and the face really stands out. Nice work.

Mars Oct 8 with the C11

Hi Chris.
It's a nice image but it looks like there is a bit of an alignment problem. Try to go back and realign the avi's. Turn that nice image into a great one.

This object is much like M42. A huge range of brightness. I think the trick is here to either process the image twice, one for the bright areas and one for the dim. Then combine the images in PS to show bright and dim together or two different exposures and again use the PS magic to show both.
Ron Wadoski say's the whole dynamic range can be shown with careful histogram adjustments, but I've never been able to do that.

M 82, redo

Nice work Dan. It's hard to imagine what the skies would look like living near the center of that galaxy.
