M27 aka NGC6853

[allan gould]

Felt a little depressed due to clouds and rain so I thought I would reprocess some of my images from Astrofest m2012 that I hadn't done properly due to lack of time.
This was taken with 10"SCT and QSI583wsg LRGB with 10 min subs x 5 for each filter (RGB 2x2 and L 1x1) on an EQ6 mount.
Comments welcomed

Thats looking good Allan. There is some nice detail and the colour looks spot on.

Very nice, Allan

You should be feeling less depressed after that result, Allan. Looks great!

Not too bad Rick. SCTs as you know aren't the easiest imaging machine and M27 is pretty low but that turned out fine.

Thanks Peter, I only posted after seeing yours.

Thanks Larry

I just wanted to see if a few new tricks would help the image and I was plased with what eventuated. Thanks Rick


The names Allan, but Ill accept the comments. Thanks Greg, I love the SCT as it can really pull out some detail.

It's a little soft but the field looks amazing. Good star shapes too. :thumbsup:

Tried not to sharpen the stars at all as I find they just lose all character and I wanted the main object to be M27. Just kept the colour up to them.
But thanks for the comments Marc
