There is so much going on I didn't know if there were gradients in it or what but here she is. Let me know what you all think. Comments and critics always !!

Subtle blue colour there. Your images have only one drawback - the location. I wish them on APOD everyday.

Your images are awesome and thank you for sharing. Have you ever considered teaching a class on processing because something tells me that one or two people may attend.

This is an area I keep wanting to try but something else tends to take precedent over it! Probably because this is a reflection nebula and I have a real tough time with those!

I've never even thought about giving processing tips!! Mike Miller has watched me process before. I'm like watching a Tornado when it comes to processing. I'm very fast and hardly follow the "proper" rules. I am a firm believer in watching tutorial vids like Warrens and astro actions from Annie and Noel are really cool. I use the actions quite a bit. Hope this helps guys. As for APOD.... I'm really trying.;) Post Extras:       WarrenS Carpal Tunnel Reged: 03/04/08 Loc: Orange County New York Re: My first ever M78 [Re: JWalk]       #5520127 - 11/14/12 08:49 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Wow!
