Very nice, Marc

Thanks Dennis. :thumbsup: Lots of stars in RGB on this one. It barely sticks out of the milkyway hey? I resisted the urge to blend in NB data to show the various parts of the nebulosity and the shock fronts around the bipolar. This one is a simple RGB rendition. WYSIWYG.


Thanks Greg. Glad you liked it. :thumbsup:


Thanks a lot Larry. :thumbsup:

Great image Marc, the hires version looks awesome.
I like RGB versions of this area and NGC6188 was one of the first targets I grabbed with the QSI camera :)

Lovely, Marc! The RGB treatment works very nicely.

Nicely done Marc. Stars look awesome and the detail in NGC6164 is very nice. Just comparing it to my light polluted attempt from last weekend - really looking forward to Astrofest to give this another try.

Very Nice work Marc :thumbsup: That is one heavily star populated piece of sky, you have done well to control things and have them Nebs showing as they do ! ! I like it , ,

[multiweb]

Thanks Peter. :thumbsup: The stars in your shot actually look a lot better. I had a slight drift on mine.


Thanks Bob. Yeah it is. Glad you liked it. :thumbsup:

[David Fitz-Henr]

Yeah, really nice image overall; I think some of your best stars as well! I love swimming around the detail; again, great to see your high res versions of these mosaics!

[multiweb]

Thanks again David. :thumbsup: Actually I'm not 100% happy with the field of this one as there is a noticeable drift in RA on the high-res. It was that time of the night when the smoke cleared and we had some slight breeze.
