Hi All,<br />
<br />
See the attached. Took this the weekend before last.<br />
<br />
36 x 5min<br />
St2000xcm<br />
Explore Scientific 102 ED Triplet<br />
Astronomick CCD LPR<br />
<br />
I cannot put this down. The lower right is version 7, and the other three are panoramic stitches combining two or more of the previous 6 "finals" of this image. Shot in Maxim. Calibrated and Combined using Sigma Clip. DDP's in Maxim. Converted to Tiff and taken to CS2. Played with the Histo to balance the color (but kept it leaning redish as a preference)…

Played with the Histo to balance the color (but kept it leaning redish as a preference) Carboni lightened and enhanced. HLVG. Did some hi-pass filtering via layers at 15 and 60. Also layered in a surface blur. Moved to microsoft added diffuse glow, enhanced the color, removed some blemishes and lightened the background. Converted to jpeg.<br />

All images went through same process but in different order and or intensity. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I did Hopp's little fake Alpha H thing too. Hopp, don't know where you got it from or how well known it is <a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2656724800?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2656724800?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a>but have to credit you as you showed me.<br />

Okay gents...hit me with it. Did I go too far, not far enough? I know there is other stuff in there, how do I bring it out without killing something else. I am pretty tough and will be able to handle anything short of "this is the worst piece of %$#@ I have ever seen."<br />

I have 4+ hours on this and I can't help but cont to reprocess this.<br></br>
Here are the details:<br></br>
3 min exposures stacked in DSS for a total of 4 hours 18 min<br></br>
PS CS5<br></br>
Orion 80mm EON<br></br>
Orion 80mm guide scope with SSAG<br></br>
Canon T1i (Hap Griffin modified)<br></br>
CG-5 mount (HyperTuned)<br></br>
Atronomik CLS light pollution filter clip for Canon EOS<br></br>
Any ideas of what I can do to improve this. I posted this for a reason so let me have it...…
