Nice shots Stuart! I especially like your Perseus one.

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.
