Image details
From the first of my new setups in Spain – finished testing and now onto some serious imaging. The first section of a larger mosaic.
Here we have a look at the area around LDN 1251 and LDN 1247. The data is cropped from 2 panes of a final project that will also include LDN 1235 and vdb 152. Some way to go on that yet though. I have attempted to keep a natural feel and colour and not overstretch or force the image too much, hopefully, I have got the balance about right? Hope you enjoy.
