Very nice picture, especially like the star.
Took quite a while to produce that I bet.

Thank you guys!

It is mostly H-Alpha and it takes me forever to process. Probably 20% getting the files and 80% processing. I'll get faster in the future....hopefully.

Beautifully taken - likely the mask in The Phantom of the Opera, but also likely pumpkin.
So natural and realistic

Thanks Al, it's not as difficult these days as you might think. As long as you can get your rig spacing/wiring correct and polar aligned, generally you can go to bed while it shoots away. Processing takes the most time.

Thanks Dan, I appreciate the kind words. I liked the outcome. Still working on my star colors/shapes.
