Hi Paul,

Great! - I love the horsehead in the 2nd image - When I Long Exposure mod my Toucam this will be my first target.

Thks,  John.

[Sue]

Beautiful images Paul.

[Rocket Pooch]

Wow again!

Like the horse head.

[Ian]

fine pieces of work Paul. Juat a question though, the pic of M42 seems a little quantised like you're missing dynamic range. Is it an artifact of the jpg compression?

[Whitters]

I was playing arround streching the histogram. Need to have another go at this one.

PS I don't use JPG, I store the images as 24bit PNG's. This appears to provide a better compression algorithm.
