Hi all,

I processed a short sequence I shot of M15 a few days ago. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. The image sure can use flats, but since I'm planning to move to the TOA-130 when Anacortes ships the mounting rings, etc. for it, I'll wait for that. Mostly I'm practicing techniques and getting more familiar with Photoshop.

Thanks for looking.

Great shot Paul... resolved to the core! 8)
Are the 6 spikes on the large star due to the spider vanes on the Mewlon, or did you generated them?

Wow! I love this one Paul. The colors are great and the image has a nice 3D effect the pulls you inside. I am impressed!
Cheers,
