Iris Nebula

There has to be something wrong with the image.  I mean, even a recent IOTD (in the last few months) of this target had too much noise control as far as I was concerned….so every image has a problem when you get right down to it.  But lets make it simpler,  Please tell me what is wrong with the core nebula.

I like it. It is much better than mine.  Round stars in the corners and I like he colors. Gratz.

Thanks Russell.

Carastro:
Nothing wrong with it, it's a very good image.Carole

Thanks Carole

That's true.  I have about 115 followers or so and this image has 49 likes.  I realize that not all have seen it–but 1/4 is not a very encouraging ratio from those who took the time to follow me.   And I am sure that there have been a few people that liked it that were not following me at the time they pressed like.  But, even though I follow 29 people, I rarely get notified when they post a new image.  that's why I do not follow more–I never get a notice, so what's the point.  If I did, I would be more inclined to follow.

I started using Astrobin simply as a gallery for my images–so they would be in one place, and there would be no risk of losing them (like when my hard drive crashed).  At the time I did not know what a like was on SGL.  I relied solely on comments, until someone told me about the like button.  Now, likes are meaningful.  But I have come to the conclusion that I would be better served by having my own website, as many folks do, where I can post my images and they would be safe and in one place.  But that takes a lot of work and I am not fond of change, and learning new things (I know, how the heck did I get involved with AP then….because my passion overpowered by dislike of learning curves).

You must have this unticked in your settings as I follow 135 imagers and my in box is constantly being messaged with new images posted.

I have my own website, but it doesn't enable likes and I switched off comments in case I got spammed or something.  But I find I use Astrobin much more as it is so useful.  My own website of course allows for me to do pages on things other than images.  Such as tutorials, a blog and my equipment etc etc.
