wolfman_55 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Excellent image. I wonder how many life forms you've managed to capture....... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Hi Francis, That is amazing, the larger pic from flickr has an enormous amount of detail. Adjusting the levels makes the contrast sharper. There are just so many fuzzies in there. Congrats Edited September 15, 2014 by Tweedledum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Well Francis, that's one image that the more you look , the more you see I think!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwm891 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Many thanks everyone for the comments. Just added a further 1 hour of luminance and 20 mins each for RGB: Think its lifted it further: Many have hit levels too hard?

Guest Tweedledum Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Not too hard at all if you compare to fist you have cleared the 'fog'. Amazing image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Cannot believe I missed this. That is one cracking image there Francis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwm891 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thanks both. Had another play with processing on this one which has tamed the contrast but gained in colour saturation - processed in PI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Oh yes, definitely this most recent edit does it for me. Great balance of colour, contrast and not too harsh on the black background. Lovely job Francis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 last one looks much better but why does PI turn out a sky that is if not black its almost black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whizzbang Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Nice great composure .........the last one to me is slightly over stretched ...to my eyes on this PC the background is starting to take on a gradient of green and purple........ Maybe its my eyes, this is the kind of thing i get with a QHY8 that is driving me potty. however it might just be me, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwm891 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks All for the comments. I managed another 1½ hours last night on this but the processing is driving me nuts at the moment... Nice great composure .........the last one to me is slightly over stretched ...to my eyes on this PC the background is starting to take on a gradient of green and purple........ Maybe its my eyes, this is the kind of thing i get with a QHY8 that is driving me potty. however it might just be me, Russell, This has been pushed and pulled to lift the colour and the tidal streams between and the background has suffered for that. If I can get this last set of subs to co-operate it might save things. I guess its right on the limit for my 8 inch and sky conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whizzbang Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 would running DBE in PI help? it may need several iterations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwm891 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 DBE (and ABE) have been used on this at different stages. I think I need to go back to the original files look at each and make sure they are all the same bit depths etc., and take it again from there - could take a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whizzbang Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 good luck....... i suspect its just an aggressive stretch. as i said i get it with my QHY8 OSC and it drives me mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
