Hello everyone. Thought I'd share some of my pics. Although not anywhere as good as some of the pics shown here on this forum, I am sure happy with them. As a newbie astro-imager I sure as heck wouldn't be where I am today without all the information and advice that has been given on this forum. Thanks to all! All comments and advice welcome.

Excellent image Henry. Welcome.

For a really good comparison of processing techniques, check out Paul Maxson's image processing excersize. There is an excellent range of processing styles along with the info on how the images got that way. Everyone starts with the same image. You might even want to take part and process the image yourself to see how your style compares. Here's the link:

Best of luck.

Thank you for all your kind words and input gentlemen. Thanks Tom, I will try to rework the colours. I think I may have over processed the image. Thank you all again
