This was done 010708, processing was not too good, I did not know too much about it then. So I redid it today & it looks a lot better.
Modified Canon 350D/ ED80/ 7x600 secs, flats, no darks

It's got excellent contrast considering there are no darks. Love the finger of darkness. When are you going to write "Fay's guide to reprocessing your old subs"? :)

Fay - you can't post a reprocessed shot without showing us the original or giving us the link please......

I remember the original (I think!) and this reprocess looks very good.

Have you got time to do some of my old subs ?

Reprocess looks a lot smoother & you managed to get rid of the field rotation or whatever it was top right... Nice job

Yes, that's it John, thanks. I have a habit of deleting a lot of old one's I don't like

Lovely re-process Fay, the stars are much more under control and it's now a lot less noisy too, gotta love those dark lanes!!!
