Back lit images are always tricky and this image has been no exception. The trick is knowing just how much to go into contrast without losing detail or there can be a tendency to head towards over processing. This particular image has also been awkward due to the healthy mixture of warm bracken bathed in winter light and the cold blue frost. I have tried to proses this image before, but I was always slightly bothered by the eccentric colours, but I felt it was time to let it out of the bag…
This is a re-process of messier 13 which i photographed a couple of months back. I thought i could improve on it and managed to bring back some star colour and a bit more data.

I've wanted to fool around with some cross-processed looks, so I dug this photo up from Seattle a few months ago. Justin Craperi everybody!

Not so heavily processed, and with more natural colour, detail. LRGB by optolong filters, and AA RC6 QHY163M 5min x 12 +RGB 1min x 8 each (approx)

This is a foculation tank. It is used to treat poo. Basically everything on the ship is reduced, as much as possible, to constituent components and either recycled or burned. Ashes are taken ashore and carefully controlled 'sludge' (left over food courtesy of greedy fat Americans who take more than they can eat) is released into the ocean. I have been assured that the ship is very environmentally friendly.
