Tulip & Crescent

I post some recent images here in case there are some good words of advice on either.

Tulip Nebula SH2-101   7 hrs LRGB:

Crescent Nebula NGC6888   6.5hrs HaLRGB:

Both gave me trouble on the processing but particularly the Tulip which was a much tougher target than I anticipated (although saved it for CalStar 2011 dark skies).

Thanks for looking.

Hi Jeff,

The pictures are nice, altough it seems to me that they are a bit dark and that there is some rest noise present especially the first image!

I think you can tune the image further because there is good data behind!

Nice work tough!!!

Cheers

Thanks very much, Lex-
 I'll see what I can do in those directions.
Clear skies,

Lex-
 I brightened up the backgrounds on both of these so they wouldn't be so dark.  Same URL's:
