M44 The Beehive Cluster

Nice image but I'm not sure about adding the false diffraction spikes (you could get those with a scope a lot cheaper than an Esprit 100?)

Yes, adding spikes is always a bit controversial. I saw the Beehive imaged by Noel Carboni with the spikes and fell in love with it and I always fancied trying to do my own version.

Interesting image Dave.

It certainly looks nice no doubt, although I myself am not really in to adding things like spikes and artificial star colours.

I'm more of a minimalist, but thats just me, but its interesting however to see a cluster like this in a different perspective.

Good work anyway 👍🏼

I really like this, I used this tool on an image on here years ago, it caused quite a stir. Great job.

 

It makes the image a bit more interesting and makes you really look at the different colours out there.
