Nice Pete

Seriously good Pete! Well done... Simon

Really Excellent Peter


Think this needs to be printed off and go on a big wall.
Top marks!

Thank you both... the FLT132 is a seriously under rated scope ....giving such a colour correction as good if not better that the FSQ....

That image illustrates the difference between someone with years of processing experience and one such as yourself that also has a natural talent. That's something you are gifted with and nigh impossible to learn. Amazing colours and details you've pulled out Peter, yet again. 

When's the book coming out?

You are very kind Ray......  astrophotography is all about dealing with those very precious photons. Because the signal is so low you have to take the process right back to the very basics. All these techniques can be learned .... no black magic required!! 

Peter, 
Well not so much as being kind as to my reaction to that image. You're being modest. Yes we can all learn to do most things and after a while become accomplished, but there is a a definite divide between talent and experience. Few examples, tightrope walking, juggling, kayaking, motor racing ad infitum. 

It's knowing intuitively what you need to adjust to compensate for anything needing improvement. There are obviously degrees of talent as in all things. Looking through some of your images and I believe you're definitely up there. 

I repeat, when's the book coming out?

No plans for a book yet Ray lol

Peter, 


I repeat, when's the book coming out?

Ray, he drones on enough at the best of times. A 1000 pages of Pete makes Purgatory sound like a summer camp
