The Lambda Centauri Vortex

IC 2944 in narrowband.

I've chosen to carefully render this image without stars.
(thank you Starnet ++ best star removal software ever!)

Star forming dark Bok globules float above the swirling painterly molecular gaseous clouds of predominately O3 & Ha.
These gases in turn contrast against the mountain range like shock fronts of S2 - thus creating a somewhat surreal sci-fi landscape.

Like the federal election results, this starless presentation may not suit everyone's taste

Taken from my light polluted backyard in Melbourne.

Healthy C&C welcome

Bah!...manipulated art

Nah ...as is often the case with starless images, the acentuated detail does look cool

Structures are nicely presented and colours are pleasing, but the scars left from ripping light-giving stars out of the picture remind me that this is an unnatural representation of the luminous Cosmos.

A bit like the election result...I don't quite know what to make of it.

Was someone proposing a tax on stars?

But I'll give you a frank credit on that one...Arty, but interesting.

Love it! Stars or no stars the details are outstanding, right down to the bok globules structure. Don't mind the colors either. One for the cool wall.

Looks great, Andy. I'm a blasphemous fan of starless images. I'm usually more conservative with colour and I would never have put those colours together but I actually think it works well. Nice one!

Fabulous detail there Andy. Not having those pesky stars really helps you to see all of it. I quite like the colour palette here too.

Looking forward to seeing this with some RGB stars as well.

Cheers Mike - It's fun to walk on the other side of the street occasionally

I fall into the camp of preferring the version *with* the stars.
