Well here it is. I was so inspired to get a capture after Carole's imaging night so tonight was the night. I know I still have so much to learn but I'm really pleased with my first attempt. Maybe with a bit more knowledge with processing I could improve it further :D
A very happy Kylee.
That's great Kylee, well done.

Thanks Jim. ;)
OK thanks Rick...hopefully I'll get the hang of it next time :o
Well done Kylee. That's a great first attempt. The colour is excellent, surface detail is there and the ice cap is visible too.
Nice one!
Terrific, Kylee. You are going to be one of the best..... excellent stuff. Keep on with the good work.
