Re: [APML] Orion 50mm Wide Field: Final Result

[Ray Butler <ray.butler@nuigalway.ie>]

Hi Carlos,

Some people are saying that it's oversaturated in colour. Maybe. What I 
notice is that the colours are curiously "quantized" - all the stars 
seem to be either golden or blue-white; only a few of the brightest ones 
show gradations of colour other than these two uniform shades. From my 
own use of Provia 400F, I don't think it is the film's response which is 
causing this dichotomy. Was there some digital processing step which 
might have caused it?

Colours aside, it's still an amazingly sharp and detailed image for 
35mm, and I'm glad to see that the wavelets step was kept nice and subtle.

Ray "impressed" Butler.
