Superb image Troy. Just needs to be bigger so I can float through it.

Very nice, Troy. Lots of Ha and a treasure trove of objects.

Nice saucepan Troy, this field seldom fails to please and I like your particular framing here

[cazza132 (Troy Casswell)]

Thanks Mike, Rick and Paul!

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

It's got a definite Rogelio feel to it

The detail and structure you've pulled out in those relatively faint dust clouds is extraordinary. That zeiss lens looks pretty damn special too!
cheers,
Andrew.

amazing work! really gives a great perspective of the star forming area

[LewisM]

Incredible!

Surely you didn't do that from Coolum?

[cazza132 (Troy Casswell)]

Thanks Michael, Rodney, Andrew, Aidan and LewisM

LewisM - didn't take it at Coolum. However, I do have a few dark sky spots within 1-2hr drive. Took this at a property near Bald Rock National Park during a weekend away - very dark with a little bit of altitude (approx. 800m) to keep things a bit cooler (including beer!).

Michael - I think Rogelio has some nice work, but can over cooked at times (just my perception). Definitely eye catching work and he has done really well.

Outstanding image! I am a big fan of fast lenses reminds me of my Zuiko 150mm F2.0

[cazza132 (Troy Casswell)]

Thanks plantnerd! Just checked out your mosaic of our galactic core. Looking good mate! Yes - the fast tele-primes are awesome! The Zeiss 135mm works great, but that Zuiko 150mm of yours looks awesome!

A fantastic image. Love the rich colours and the depth of the dust/nebula. A lot there for such little exposure time.

Greg.

[DJScotty (Scott)]

Stunning image. Really puts the whole region into a nice perspective and some things to aim for!

Great work

Really nice Troy - lots of depth and detail for relatively short total exposure - good equipment, good execution, and beautifully crafted . Quite inspired to have a crack at something like this myself!
