M101 again

Hi,

My apologies for posting this again so soon.
I did a reset on my monitor and checked my photoshop settings,my JPEGs now look the same when viewed with Internet Explorer so I am hoping it won't appear too dark on your screens now.

I reprocessed it from scratch and set the background at around 15-18 in Photoshop.Probably pushed the saturation right to the edge of overdone.

Your opinions on if it displays to dark would be most appreciated

Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason,
This looks pretty good actually, yes a little dark, but that is difficult to judge when monitors vary so much.
The color is correct, but a little too strong. However, this is not cut in stone either and I see this object shown with muted and bright colors. The color is true though and that is the important part.
A little less darkness in the background will reveal more of the stars, especially the small tiny ones, which will give the photo more depth.
Good job, keep posting.

Nice shot Jason!

Thanks Ivan and Jim for your comments!

Good resolution, good processing, but I do agree that the saturation looks t obe pushed too hard for the amount of data you've got. But everything else looks really good.
