Hello,
A couple weeks ago I posted my first light image with my Vixen VC200L.I was happy with it at the time but after looking at it some more I decided to start over and try to end up with a more natural looking final image.
I reprocessed from scratch and used CCDstack for the preprocessing and Photoshop to finish it up.

I like this version better grin

Thanks for looking and advice welcomed!

The good news is that the slight bit of color noise is gone from the first version,
the bad news is that the dust that was visible in the first version got swallowed by your black point.
I thought the color was excellent in the first version, but this looks even better.
My regards,

dan
