Which one?

Posted By Alan Friedman

Hi Luca -

The rings can handle the processing in version A, but the disk has become flattened where the rings pass behind it. I prefer the rounder disk in version B.

How's that for a decisive answer? smile

Tyler - the smoothness is appealing - it captures the eyepiece view very nicely.

Mike - I just can't get enough of these recent images! You have really harnessed that 18 - the results are breathtaking. The feeling is as if they were prepared effortlessly - not true, I'm sure - but the have a beautiful natural feeling almost as if there was no processing done.

great stuff!
