A Wider View of the Spider and Surrounds

[Star Catcher]

The cloudy evening weather has been a pain in Sydney for doing imaging but I have managed to collect 6 hours in Ha using the wider field of my 127mm refractor and my QHY16200. Just have to get some more clear skies to grab some decent SII and O3 data.

A larger image to stroll around can be found here:

Nicely captured Ted. :thumbsup:

Lots of faint nebulosity showing up there, nicely done :)

[Placidus]

Very fine. Well done!

I'm enjoying the image and the framing - but I think the dynamic range has been compressed too much with the core being excessively burnt in like that - nice details though!

Look forward the the full NB version, Ted. That's a great start!

Thanks Peter



Thanks Colin


Thanks Mike




Thanks Andy, I always struggle with deciding what is best looking for the range in this core area. :)


Thanks Rick

Awesome field of view with nice sharpening to enhance detail. Nicely done Ted.

Great FOV Ted, masses of HII gas in there! Looks like you pushed the sharpening a little too hard though, some of the detail areas look quite granular, still, an impressive field and an easy fix :thumbsup:

Thanks Mike, perhaps a little crunchy but then I do like my crunchy peanut butter :) I'll see where I go with it when and if I get some decent other bands data given the crappy weather.
