Re: [APML] Six new wide field astrophotos

[<pleiades2004@pleiades-astrophoto.com>]

Hi Carlos,

I like the new version very much. Color is nearly perfect IMO.

I suggest a mouseover comparison between both images, that is, with and
without diff filter. That would be quite interesting and illustrative about
the true effect of this technique.

Congratulations for a beautiful work, including the rest of six wide field
shots.

Juan

Hi all

I uploaded a new version of the Crux pic:

The previous version was blended with a shorter exposure using a Marumi DIFF
filter (following Marco's article). The main difference is that now the
brightest stars are bigger, and more colorfull. I think that now it looks
much better. What do you think?

Regards,

Hi all

Sorry for the lack of a nice presentation... I just
has been very busy. Hope you'll like them.

All of the pics were taken last december, using a
Canon F1 camera, Provia 400F (pushed 2 steps) and an
average time of 20 minutes each. All scanned with a
SS35 at 2700dpi, and resampled at 1/3 for web
purposes. Digital threatment using Pleiades PixInsight
1.0 (beta).

5.- "Andromeda"
Pegasus, Andromeda, etc., etc., etc. Just see M31 and
M33 in this very wide field image. Canon FD 28mm f/2.8

Also see the original image (raw, at 1/4) here:

All those gradients due atmospheric extinsion and
light pollution were extracted using PixInsight's DBE
tool. Amazing, isnt?

6.- "Crux"
The Southern Cross... I have a diffused image to blend
with this one, but not the time to do this... yet.
