Hi all,

 

I finally managed to get a decent image, there is still a lot to improve though as the picture seems to have a vignette effect which I didn't manage to remove.

 

Perhaps is something to do with the flat frames I took this morning using the blue sky. Any way I quite happy with the result and I hope you like it !

Good start ! Hope you don't mind but I cropped slightly - adjusted curves and levels in photoshop and generally fiddled a bit.

Your image but edited a bit.

I didn’t mind at all . It looks much better thanks. 
I don’t use photoshop as I am still using GIMP because it’s free but I guess that would be my next step.

 

thanks

I cropped a bit the right side where there was something wrong.

Nice one Gabs, instead of paying a subscription to Photoshop there's a very powerful App called Pixinsight.

One off payment which works out cheaper over the years. Mind you, not everyone gets along with it as the working method is different from Gimp and PS.
