Jason,
Nice images. I wanted to make a judgment before I looked at any other replies. I have to say, I prefer the first image as well.

Great image Michael. Nice to get out again after awhile off isn't it.

Floyd,
I like the image a lot. I think the color came out very nice and natural on the galaxies and the star field.

Galaxy NGC 3521

Posted By Jim Thommes
Thanks for the comments folks.

I took a look at the image again (I like to come back after not looking at an image for a day or so). I am pleased with this image more so than I thought I would be.

It may be my imagination, but I think some galaxy images seem more appealing oriented in ways other than north up. I know it is not a scientific presentation, but this galaxy was one that to my eye seemed natural for the unconventional presentation. Comments?

OK, I'm back!

Thanks to Dietmar for letting the group know I would be away for awhile and thanks to all those who commented with concern and well wishes.

M51 wide field LRGB

Posted By Jim Thommes
Nice one Tom.

I like to see M51 in wide field. As was mentioned - there are other interesting fuzzies and you got deep enough for them. The crop shows good detail.

Heart in Halpha

Posted By Jim Thommes
Nice one Anjal. Shooting this (or really any object) at 15 deg above horizon is always tricky. You gat a good result though.
