The link below will allow those who can wield the mighty mouse cursor, and release the Kraken! to literally pull the stars from the sky.

Well, sort of.

It's really just a roll-over of the two data sets I linked to earlier...

The link is here


Enjoy!

Seriously cool- nice out of the box image! 😊😎

Really really nice. Can't think what else to say.

Thanks Andy...I suspected it would appeal to your Photographer's eye

Ta Steve. Much appreciated. I wasn't sure about the false colour palette on the h-alpha data, but have decided it's not too shabby after all....and throws an immediate/interesting perspective to the colour data.

Love the starless version which seems to emphasize, or suggest, foreground and background areas. Is the version with stars HaRGB? I’m looking at this on an iPhone so might be missing some info. The alternating view works fine on on the touch screen though :-)

Have to agree, the Starless image is fascinating, and dose highlight the whole image. I do like it a lot, both are excellent images, though.

Pretty cool Peter.

Love the starless one.

I was playing around with Starnet again the other day. Seems to do better on some images than on others. I get some interesting crosshatch artefacts with my data; have you seen this?

Ta. I found it was a bit hit and miss. The routine does not remove diffraction spikes, and a few are visible in my data, but I'd expect if the
original is heavy in spikes a cross-hatch pattern would result.

Ta. The colour version is indeed HaRGB, but the blend is pretty mild as can be seen from the h-alpha only view.

Very dramatic. The whole nebula looks likes a violent fire.

A lot of extra detail has come out. Does Starnet do that or is that a 2nd processing step?

Thanks Greg. No, all starnet does is remove stars. The false colour palette was applied in Photoshop.

I think I'm starting to catch this starless disease now .
I love the starless Ha view in particular - has a fabulous 3D feel to it.
