1st H-Alpha

[Brady]

Nothing special but i thought i would post up my first H-Alpha image using the Astronomik clip for a canon dslr, there was a lot of pros and cons from what people had put up about the clip so i just bit the bullet and thought i would give it a go..only 4 x 300 second lights but even from my previous images with a lot more lights i can tell this might be fun....also for some reason my images on the internet dont look like what im seeing with some photo viewers...windows photo viewer for instance looks grainy as does the one below, while a freebie i downloaded..faststone image viewer looks fantastic as does photoshop...anybody know why this is?

Thanks

Looks good

looks good and not grainy on my screen, i also found that windows photo viewer does not do images justice, but what can help massively is a good quality and calibrated screen and of course a good digital graphics card, also the correct colour profile, i.e. srgb rather than just rgb or something else as there can be a fair few colour profiles to choose from., i`m now using a full hd screen and digital cables from the graphics card to the monitor, now when i`ve finished and saved an image in photoshop it looks very good on other photo viewers and when reduced in size for the internet, you can spend up to £500 for a monitor, too expensive for me but you can get ones out there for about £150, less second hand, it`s helped me greatly as my old cheap 17" HP monitor was rubbish and was not doing my images any justice.
