Re: [APML]4th of July Fireworks



Hi Tony,
 
wow, thatīs a very deep shot and itīs interesting to see, how large that beast is and how much detail is given in the faintest parts. For my taste, you did a bit too much nonlinear stretching in between the brightest parts and the dark lanes , but of course you are getting a good contrast.
 
I was shooting that one in one the brightest nights on 24th of june where it doesnīt get really dark here at my latitude. The light pollution is much more in any case compared to your side <g>.

Hello,
 
     Thought I would upload a quick and dirty version of the NGC 6946 that I have been working on... this is the luminance with IR cutoff... this facilitates complete RGB coverage of the luminance... color version coming when I get two more clear nights.
 
     This is a total of 5.75 hours of luminance exposure at f/8 with the 14.5" Cassegrain... round stars for once and a better understanding of Sigma processing. I'll probably back off a bit for the LRGB but it's the fourth so I felt like fireworks... : - )

     Happy 4th!
