I was looking for something new to image and came across this one. Plus getting the more famous Gabriela Mistral nebula up top in the frame was an unexpected bonus.
Its referring to the glob cluster. A new one for me. I forget the name of the more famous neb up top, its a persons name.
I'm being a bit pedantic here perhaps (pun intended) but it's an open cluster, not a globular. The name you are thinking of is the Gabriela Mistral nebula so called because it resembles the profile of Gabriela Mistral, a Chilean Nobel prize winner.
Nice looking image Greg - lovely colour. I've never heard it called the pendant before.

Nothing in this image (open or globular) is known as "The Pendant" from my understanding. Must be another new name. At least from what I could get from refgooglepedia.
Sorry I just found it. Yep newfangled name. I withdraw.

Ah yes I meant open cluster. Thanks for the name, that was bugging me as I couldn't recall it.

Thanks Theo.
I saw one post by another imager that refers to the Pendant Nebula. I forget where I found the original reference to it but it was called the Pendant there.
The Pendant is not a new name for 3293. It is best known as the Gem Cluster,
but has been referred to as the Pendant Cluster in some publications over
the years. My book on imaging Southern objects is one that does. In fact
I have for many years known it as the Pendant. The description makes a little
sense because in short exposures there are two bright stars adjacent to it that
sort of make it look as though it is hanging from them when the image is appropriately
orientated. I think it is prettier than the Jewel Box.
Great image, by the way.

Thanks and thanks for the clarification on the name.

I didn't even realise the Gabriela Neb was nearby until I was working out the framing.

Thanks Andy. Not as spectacular as your recent neb image but I liked the framing in particular on this one.
I added O111 and S11 data to the HaLRGB image and spent quite a bit of time on the processing.
I like this version better than the HaLRGB which seemed to lack interest and vitality. This narrowband/natural colour combine is more dynamic and shows more depth and colour.
There is a fair bit more contrast and the detail in the shock fronts is showing up a lot more than the HaRGB.
It appears as if there is a number of errant hot pixels throughout the higher signal areas but otherwise, very nice

Thanks Colin. I am in the process of reinstalling most of my usual software into a new laptop. So I installed my copy of Photoninja now which gives me Noise Ninja back. I have cleaned up the noise better now.
New and improved with added S2O3! lol - sounds like an Omo commercial!
I like it very much Greg - lovely balance of the different wavelengths & Colours.
Nice one

Hehe, its a bit of work but I think sometimes it takes a fair bit of work to craft the image into something you like. Other times not so much.
