Looks very promising! Nice dust "pillars."
If you don't mind I gave it a little gamma
work and pushed the contrast....

Great shot, my friend!
I know what you mean about the limitations of these small-chip cameras...

I wish I could afford a larger one, but I simply cannot... I'll have to settle for what I have.


Clear skies, and keep it up!

Nicely done Floyd! I think the processing looks great on this one. I prefer the natural look of this image to the boosted version. It seems to me that you are getting really good performance from the equipment you are using. Your results continue to improve with time. Congrats on a nice image.
Cheers,
Tyler
