Hello,

I shot some color last night for the previous 3 hours of Ha I already had on this.

This image is now 3 hour's of 6 Nm Ha,1 hour Luminance and 30 minutes each of RGB combined as HaRed,HaLum,LRGB

I really did not get enough color and had horrible gradients from the not very transparent skies last night.The two bright stars posed me lot's of problems too(large Green halos 8O )

I dealt with these the best I could,can't seem to get rid of them completely.All in all it's a bit of a dissapointment because I had higher hopes for this one,probably reshoot it sometime smile

VC200L at F6

Thanks for taking a look,your comments and critiques are always welcome,

Jason

Jason,
You don't see that one often, nor do I recall seeing it with such color and detail. But you should have saved it for Halloween; there is something downright eerie about it smile . Actually, that contrast in the highlights are really something--good color, too.
Question: what causes those dashed spikes?

Jason,

I think you did a good job with it overall. Now I see where it is in the context of Dean's recent image of it.
