M35 with AP130 F8.35

Hi all,

This is an image of M35, that I took a little while ago. Finally processed it. Seeing was terrible and I had some trouble with my tracking that night, but Im becoming increasingly picky.

here are the details,

This version is stretched a little more, but I'm not sure it makes for a better image in this case. Which is better?

cheers,

Sitting back from the image I would say I like the less stretched one. However, I really like looking at the details of the one that brings out the fainter stuff. I think they both could use a tiny bit more color. Were the stars saturated with the two minute exposures? If so, that would explain the colors being white.

Well, picky, picky. I think its pretty nice. I realy like the colors.

I too prefer the less strectched image (sitting back and looking at it). The streched image is always usefull to pick out the finer details.
