Shot this a couple of weekends ago. I was all set for a long night on the Sunflower when, with the galaxy just about framed I looked up and saw...clouds! I switched to something close by that I could get usable LRGB quickly. It was actually the first time I've shot through the LX90 since getting my ZenithStar 66 two Christmases ago! I've been fighting with the gradients and color balance for weeks now, so finally am putting it to rest. Any suggestions are very, very welcome!

Hey Larry, I played a little with your image, and even though it seems that the core is a bit blown up already, I was able to get that gradient out... tell me what you think... (and forgive me if by any chance aomething is out of whack, but my monitor likes to play games with me from time to time... and I don't see it until I check the image on another monitor later on...) 8) wink


Clear skies!
