NGC 4755, A digital sketch.

#1

Post by KingClinton »


After having had some fun converting my NGC 6231 image to a digitally enhanced image I figured I would have some fun with my recent NGC 4755 sketch.

The first image is the original sketch and the second the Star tools/Photoshop enhanced image.
Hope you enjoy the digital copy.

Nice work with the digital but for me the first image is the favourite...... reminds me of some of the glass plates at Mount Stromlo Observatory
