Very pretty shot Louie. I like the star colours. Going to Coonabarabran is on my list of things to do.

Eastern VeilPosted By Greg Bradley |
Wow, good on you Louie! The Veil here is only about 10 degrees or so above the northern horizon so a superb shot.
Did you take it from on top of a hill or the land was flat around you? Trees could easily obscure that one.

Another sweet shot! A slight green tinge to it though.
Man, Coonabarabran must be the place to go eh? How does it compare to other dark sites you've been to in NSW? Where did you image from? On a backstreet or area of bush or something or someone's place?
The closest I have seen to it is near Inverell and that was nice.
My friend has a farm at 700ms elevation at Bundarra ( west 150km of Coffs Harbour where the jet stream seems to flow straight.That seemed to have above average seeing and incredible transparency. Not to mention virtually zero light pollution.

Hi Louie,
The green cast has gone but it seems that the object should be more blue based on other images of the same. Perhaps you could look around for other images of it to get a feel for the blue level.
It is hard sometimes when processing an image for a while to keep perspective on it. You can get too "in it".
Sometimes it pays to get it to what you like then leave for a while and then view it again later with fresh eyes.
Its worth the effort as it is a hot image.

Mate! You're such a good imager. That is a great image. The object itself isn't much to talk about but you've managed to make the whole image fascinating and interesting. The lovely star colours (on the linked image more so than the compressed jpeg) and you've captured that big bright star in a way that it becomes a feature rather than a nuisance. Well done!
