Cat Paw from SPSP 2013

Here's my last one from the star party . Still a little noisy but some good colors. It's very red and in a very dark part of the milkyway.

That's it. No more. :)

Thanks Steven. :thumbsup: Yeah I had a good run. Hopefully next new moon is clear too so I can get more color.

Thats a nice Cats Paw Marc :thumbsup: Good field to put into perspective also , , Great show . .
BTW, what was the F/Length of the Lens capture couple yrs ago, dont often see these two nebs in one field, a promising area for a widey if conditions are not so great : )
Thanx .

Thanks again Bob. :thumbsup: From memory I think it was a 200mm Pentax lens. I have a Ha version here (https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=6930D3AD12D5044C&id=6930D3AD12D5044C%211091#cid=6930 D3AD12D5044C&id=6930D3AD12D5044C%21921)a bit clearer.

Nice work, Marc! I've been slowly mosaicing this region in narrowband from my back yard... nice to see the wider view in context :)

Good stuff. :thumbsup: You might want to have a look at the prawn next door as well. Heaps of goodies. Dark tower, etc... and west of it (https://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y2pmQcQ6jzoh2rMmsodpfDVnVtgSLw_d4b4 6sVJa3m0e059v8sTYounSrw7EOC3g81bLLO 4zi_KGX-pC3e31D6hTkSI6E-ergjEqAYNgrdSwqA/prawn_35mm_ha_ff.jpg?psid=1)there are huge arches a bit like a SN remnants (4 o'clock from it on the shot)

Another nice image Marc; easy to make out the cat's paw here! Not seeing much noise myself.

[multiweb]

Thanks David. :thumbsup: I had to do a little noise reduction in the blue channel. Should have done twice as many subs really but this one was kind of an in between targets.
