OK, Vince Bert isn't the only one to obsess with the Iris.... I liked his "study" a lot - gave me some inspiration.

So this one suffers a little on depth and noise but after all, it is only 1-1/2 hours total at f/6.

Hi Jim,

You did a lot better with your 1-1/2 hours of data than I did with my eight-hours of data from last year! It's got nice color and texture, it's clean, no noise is evident.

Beautiful work Jim. I have got to try this someday. I hate to see others having so much fun and me left out! smile
Nicely captured.
Cheers,
Tyler
