What a picturesque scene, Rolf! I enjoyed swimming around the original size image looking at the background galaxies. Aesthetic colours to boot makes for an all round visual treat. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Rolf

galaxies in Sagittarius - who would have thunk it

A beautiful image. So many galaxies to wander amongst.

Thanks very much H, I was surprised with how well it turned out. I really just wanted to image something off the beaten path again and stumbled across this little group.

Thanks David, yeah I think I need to take the G11 apart and give it a tune-up soon. I plan to do that when I install my new 12.5".

Cheers Marc, I think the 17 hours helped as well. A standard image for me is usually around 10 hours, but I decided to go a bit further on this one since the spiral arms were so faint.

Thanks Steve, neither had I I really enjoyed taking and processing this image, and the fact that there turned out to be so little info available on these galaxies only added to the excitement.

And I echo what Rob F said so well:

Rolf, I've just popped this on the IIS fb page along with a plug for your poster purchases.
Thanks a lot Suzy, you're too kind
...If anyone wants some posters you all know where to go
I have to say these look really awesome, not because they are my images but because large format deep sky posters just simply rock
I remember I had two astro posters in my room as a child. My parents bought them in the Tycho Brahe Planetarium in Copenhagen. One was with the Trifid and the other was the Andromeda galaxy. I loved staring at them all the time. I still have them rolled up somewhere, and it's interesting to notice that most images posted here on the forum are now way better than those professional images that I gazed at in awe 25 years ago!

Thank you Ray, yes there is a lot of stuff in the background too, most of the tiny faint yellowish dots are distant galaxies.
