This is the image I use as my desktop image - not sure WHO'S it is - pulled it off a Google search a while back (someone Davis??)
Marco also did a GORGEOUS M78 a few years back, as did Rolf Olsen. lus my very average low-data rendition from 6 years ago (f/9 FL-102S doublet and an OSC CCD: https://www.astrobin.com/full/106523/0/ - yeah, I blurred my mega-noise too ). You even commented on my image 5 years back
I'll NEVER be anywhere near decent at AP - not even half your talent Andy, but I do know M78
Lol, I had Marco’s image up on my screen as a reference to aim for whilst processing mine. Must find the link to another I really enjoyed as well. A case of great minds & all that
Cheers
Thanks Peter, it’s a gentle reminder that there’s no hiding behind impact, composition & technique when making LRGB images- they’re basically right or they’re not! Always room for improvement & I’m happy to learn
No worries Andy...I was simply an observation I made on another post..."impacted" seems to be the Sesame Street "word on the street" for Politicians and Journalists at the moment.
