These are absolutely amazing/incredible Neo :bow: perfect! (don't forget the inverted :) )

Can I ask out of interest, do you capture your images at a low gamma or at default and then lower the contrast in PS?

Great images. Like Alexandra I'm would like to read more on your acquisition parameters for the DMK21 (e.g. gama...). Your images seem to be mosaics (bigger than 640x480) or do you use rescaling?

best regards

Thanks for your reply. I usually never touch gain (I use only the lowet value). Gamma is something that I'm always changing. For disk details (WL, Cak & H-alpha) I use values aroung 60 (40 to 75). For proms I increase this value to more than 200 (usually 235). Your images are really fantastic - very well processed and lots of interesting details.

best regards

Very nice. Soft touch in processing, I like it! :) Randy

You maybe right, but I never touch gain even for proms. I also look at the histogram all the time. For proms I use 2/3 of the histogram and about half for disk details (WL, Cak and H-alpha).

best regards

Neo....

Those are great works, and the processing/mosaics are beautiful too.

Absolutely brilliant images.
They show a very nice field of view with the ARs and are very sharp :)
