Thanks Mav,
You could probably get alot more out of that slide the way it is..
Make a duplicate layer, desaturate, invert, stamp out the brighter stars in the inverted layer, gaussian blur to 25.0, overlay, set the opacity to 50% then flatten.
Brings out the faint background stuff.
This also works quite well with any image to bring out detail in the shadows....try it in PS.
Have fun,
Brian

I just looked at your portfolio afer viewing this image and Im impressed with this kind of approach in photography...very dreamlike and surreal.
What led you to this type of photography?
I always felt the need to explore this area, but never really knew how to approach it...it looks almost overwhelming, although thats what makes a great photograph as well.
Great job
Brian

Hi A Vonbeck,
Nope, I didnt leave anything out...this is a 50mm as you look through it at orion...slight cropping to get rid of the stack seams but thats about it.
I used Picture Window pro to stack the two together.
The only magnification I used was a rifle scope to center on polaris which has nothing to do with the magnification of the lens.
If you want to see the original scan of the diffused photo, I do have that, but the other slide got destroyed by a coffee spill.
Email me privatley @ power_windows4789@yahoo.com and Ill send it bye request.
There really wasnt that much noise or a grain problem sice it was 200spd, although it was scanned at 72 dpi so that gave me a little lack of detail.
Sandwiching two slides together will also decreas. the signal to noise ratio.
Thank you for the kind comments
Brian
