Hello,

I shot the subs for this image back on Nov.5th under poor conditions,very windy with poor seeing.Thought I would see what could be done with them and need processing practice anyway.

Initially took 15x180s each of LRGB and picked the best 50% or so of these for this image.
My focuser had some sag in it here,left an adjustment screw loose after making a few tweaks.

Working on getting correct color balance in my images,I think this is fairly good,what do you think?

VC200L at F6.4
ST10xme

Thanks for looking,input on the color is most welcome,

Jason

Looks good Jason! Yes, I think the color looks fine, not too saturated, but definite color on all stars. smile

Floyd,Dietmar and Vincent,
Thank's much for your input and comments.

It's good to know it looks right on a monitor besides mine grin

Looks good to me too, Jason! I haven't done much toward processing stars myself, though I've been keeping that in mind for future efforts, and I tend to look at stars in images these days.

Looks good Jason.

I think the color and the cluster came out real nice.
