Increased contrast
      #3413885 - 10/27/09 11:31 AM

Hi,

I have been told by someone that the images lacked contrast and in fact viewed from a different screen in my office they were a bit "dull". So I have tweaked the level and increased microcontrast with curves and re-posted them.

What do you think?

Ummmm...the term 'spectacular' comes to mind.

Well processed.

"What do you think?"

I wish you the best sky conditions in the world so you can put your excellent equipment list to work producing many such images.

Thanks for sharing.

Great work! I really enjoy the closeups of the AR I've been observing with my Lunt 60, they give me more of an idea of what I'm looking at. David

Lets just say that I come here nearly every day and copy a image to use as my background on my computer for the day (S), and your image will probably be there for a week as there is a lot to look at in there.
