Re: IC 2169 processed with and without full set of subs

Hi Roger, I went back & forth and see that in the "Full "image a bit more of that subtle smoky blue in left hand of the image. However, In those same areas, the contrast with the dark gas is more pronounced in the "Reduced" set. The less defined core in NGC2247 is not somethi...

Re: The Green Comet and the Flaming Star Nebula

That's a really nice job on the Flaming Star nebula, Pete. One thing you could do ( matter of taste). Go to the Color dropdown. Select Hue. Lessen it. You will see the image gets brighter as you enter the realm of B&W. If you just lessen it a little it drops the Red saturation.

Re: M33, M45 and C/2022 E3 dusk to dawn

As you mention, Pete, improved processing skills are demonstrated here, especially with M45. It has few rivals. M33 is nice and sharp and the refractor does seem to help with that. Loved the Comet image! And I can't believe you found enough time to image at all in this seemingly endless stretch of g...

Re: Kemble's "Sparkling" Cascade

Really beautiful, Steve. I thought this was a computer generated graphic at first. I had no idea this existed. The spikes really show it off.
