Hello,

Here it is again grin Reprocessed from the raw subs.
This time I applied the flats I took and must say,I found the processing to be much easier.
The background and gradient removal in luminance stack in particular was a lot less work.
I spent most of the time trying to bring color into the faint arms and had to push the RGB hard,I think there is just not enough data there to get a good smooth result. :C It's still a bit grainy.

I think this version looks better than my original post.

What do you think?

Thanks for looking,


Jason

Jason, I like both! 8)

This one has more vivid colors, while the original shot seems to be showing more of the faint arms of the galaxy... (at least on my LCD monitor it does... wink )


Thanks for sharing, and keep it up!

Hi Jason,

The colors do look richer in this version, but I actually prefer seeing the extended arms of the earlier version. You can always merge the best of the two grin
