[APML] Fw: New E200 Pics - Orion & Perseus, reprocessed Veil

["Stuart Heggie" <stuart.j.heggie@sympatico.ca>]

Messed up the links, here it is again, sorry!


 Hi all - I have three pics to share. Two are new E200 (pushed one stop)
shots of Orion and Perseus respectively. The third is a reprocessed Veil
nebula which was a disaster in post processing the first time so I
backed off and tried to be more subtle this time. For the Orion shot, I
decided to totally lose control - comments, upgrades, scorn all accepted
with grace.

Orion with 50mm Nikkor lens at f2.8 and E200 for 15min manually guided
(remember I said I lost control here):

 Perseus with 50mm Nikkor lens at f2.8 and E200 for 15min manually
guided
(stayed cool and kept processing under control):

 Reprocessed Veil Nebula taken with my f3.5 Nikon 400mm EDIF at f4.0
with
 Supra 400. Seems pinkish to me but here it is:

 This shot of the Veil was the first time I think I've managed to
produce
a layered mask to remove the effects of vignetting. I copied the pic
into a second layer then did an extreme Gaussian Blur on it then added
it back in Difference mode with 50% opacity. Kind of feeling my way.
Would appreciate comments on how to do this better.
