Lagoon In Narrowband

[Raydar (Ray Palmer)]

Hi,

Haven't posted here for a while.

I shoot a lot of NB these days because the light pollution in Perth is getting worse and worse.

This NB shot of the Lagoon is taken through a C14 @ prime. I haven't added Luminance yet but certainly will. Typical narrowband palette. I've done about 3 hours per channel, disregarded a couple of hours of data that didn't cut the mustard.

Delightful framing! ....an ultra narrow field that the venerable C14 delivers just so well

Can't say I like the NB palette so much...M8 is simply beautiful in natural colour.

Quibbles aside...nice one

Nice to meet you.

Excellent resolution in the Hourglass - you've got the central dust lane. That's hard to do. Impressive.

Expecting to see more OIII in the image. Even so, a beautiful result.

Best,
Mike

That's beautiful Ray,
Sharp with lots of details and a great 3D feel to the image.

An excellent narrow band lagoon Ray, the 3D effect is quite strong.

G'day Peter, I do like your RC's field though. One day soon I'll have to upgrade the C14 but for now she's doing okay.

Thanks to everyone else for their feedback. I've had to become a stickler for quality subs much more at this focal length (3950mm), any imperfections are prominent, whereas if I was shooting at F6.3 the tolerances a little less.

That is superb. Wonderful details and depth.

The resolution is very nice and the contrast is good. Framed well too! The Lagoon is one of those objects that I personally feel looks better with tighter crops than as a whole

Hi Ray

Looks good to me - a very nice Lagoon although OIII seems to be lacking in the palette. Regardless of the colour though the details are very nice.

Is there a higher resolution version?

Cheers

Steve

[RickS (Rick)]

A great result, Ray. That's serious focal length

[Retrograde (Pete)]

Superb detail there Ray. Really well done at that focal length

Makes me want to see the whole thing at the same level of detail though - a mosaic?

[Slawomir (Suavi)]

Wow, what a fantastic detail. Love it

[alpal]

Hi Ray,
that C14 really allows you to zoom in & get such great detail.
Well done.

cheers

[codemonkey (Lee)]

Great shot, Ray. Excellent sense of depth.

[atalas]

Love the detail well done.

[Raydar (Ray Palmer)]

Thanks again guys, glad you like it. I can't wait to add Lum to this.

Great idea Pete. Hopefully the weather clears here.

Hi Steve,

Try here for a higher resolution image.

That's a compelling image Ray! The detail and 3D'ness you've achieved plus the composition/orientation makes it quite beautiful! Very nicely done!

[Andy01 (Andy)]

Now that is impressive!
Wonderful framing and composition, delightful color palette (and I don't say that lightly being a not so big fan of green, lol) and awesome detail.

Top stuff!

[topheart]

Lovely!
Cheers,
Tim

That is superlative. So, so very impressive.

I'd imagine that would look fabulous as a metallic print hanging in the lounge!
