Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment, positive and negative the discussion & feedback is always welcome

To respond to the critiques bear in mind that even at 3nm this is a massive 30 hours of Ha Binx2, blended with a further 30 hrs of binx1 from a heavily LP affected location- so it’s never going to be TAK sharp. Tha fact that the chevrons are there at all is Kinda miraculous!

So yes, inspired by Fred Van der Haven and others this is unshamedly a bold presentation of the data gathered, processed absolutely deliberately to enhance the “Eye of God” reference in popular culture.

And to those who “get it”, thanks for your kind feedback
To those that don’t, it’s all good, not everyone likes Blue Poles, marmalade or the Collingwood footy team either!

Disclaimer: I’m not a pies fan, but you get what I mean

I don't like marmalade, or Collingswood but I do like Blue Poles and especially your version of Helix.
Its inspired me to give it s go myself right now before it sets.
Maybe not 75 hours yet
Keep up those long hours of imaging.
Cheers
Andy

Hey Andy, thanks for the nice feedback!
The Helix is an intriguing target, I look forward to seeing your take on it

PS: I like Blue Poles too

A pity to see you are selling the RC8 already Andy, I think you were pushing it's capabilities to the limits! So, what is on the Chrissie list now? Even deeper?

A very good balance between the core detail and the outer chevrons, which is just about impossible to achieve. And from the 'burbs.

Well done. Proud of yers, even before we heard about the APOD.

As I said, a rather "eye" catching image

M&T, Pete, Mick & Mike, thankyou all for your nice feedback!
It’s fascinating to see the reach Apod has out there in the community.
Theres already close to 1000 shares on Facebook & Google + and I recall Apod gets almost 3 million hits daily.
Wish I had $1 for each one

Amazing image!
May I ask a question, that with narrow band filters, what is the relationship between LP and total exposure time to get similar images? That's given same equipment, same object, same level of skill, same transparency and seeing if it matters, and same data processing techniques, if it were taken in a place with half the LP, roughly how many hours of exposure can we eventually get similar result?
Thank you
