Milky way

With my new supercomputer I can finally get Photoshop CC to do the minor edits to my old images to make them "pop" a bit without the program crashing due to insufficient ram. I have improved the dark lane contrast and brightened the nebulae in the galactic centre. Considering this image (which is a stack) was taken in a semi-dark site under very hazy conditions, it has turned out one to be of my favourites.

I will be presenting a talk tonight at the Shannonside AC monthly meeting in Mary Immaculate College and demonstrating the equipment used to take these shots. I will also be covering the club scene, Starparty and dark sky observing sites one can visit if you are ever planning a trip down under.

That's a fantastic pic John! Looking forward to seeing some more of what your new computer can help you with.

Thanks!
"Upside down"? Well that depends on your perspective

Hi John.......I was just having a go (in fun) because the shot was taken in Australia.......(though I am well aware that the Milky way is not East/West ....so this should not make any real difference).

Hope my comment makes more people have a look and give credit where credit is due. I too am looking forward to seeing more images processed with the new computer
..................... and in fact I wish that more people would take the plunge and put their shots up on this site.

Very best.....Kinch.

Hi John,

That is a class image great detail and processing.
