Corona Australis

[multiweb]

This one is in season. I got the opportunity last Sunday to do 5h in 5min subs from a dark site at a mate's farm not far from Stuart Town. First serious imaging time since the SPSP 2103. SHot that one with my 600mm refractor and the QHY8. I have a 80% version of the full field here (https://public.bn1.livefilestore.com/y2ppPODvmyIH9Caowf_GvJVnZSTA5zlvurk _9lRJry3-arh184dapYFTb4RhmbxoCxwyaUefS2SFqKx CcidS-1FRg/NGC6726_color_placidus_fff.jpg?psid =1).
Thanks for looking. :thumbsup:

Nice Corona, Marc! I like the vertical composition.

[marc4darkskies]

Verrry nice Marc! :thumbsup: Colours a tad understated for my taste but still a very pleasing image to look at. I like the composition too!

Cheers, Marcus

Thanks guys. :thumbsup: Yeah color saturation might be a little light. I think I've done mono for too long. My taste buds are too sensitive to sweet now. :P

[atalas]

Lovely work Marc!well done.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Nice dusty image Marc!

Looks good with that framing.

Cheers,

Justin.

Thanks for the feedback guys. :thumbsup:

Nice one Marc. 5hrs of dark sky data should allow you to crank up the contrast and saturation just a wee bit more though? Looking great already though.

[strongmanmike]

Excellent result Marc, see... you can do great colour work :thumbsup: andf I don't necessarily think it needs any saturation increase really :shrug:

Now just need to convince your mentor John Gleason, he can do colour too :question: :lol:

Mike

Thanks Rob. Here's one just for you. :)


Thank Mike. :thumbsup: This one turned out alright. No gradients to contend with and I could image pretty low with the same results. No wash out. Bloody cold though. Got down to -4c. :cold:. No issues with dew. It just iced up and stayed dry.

[RobF]

Nah, that one's too good. Could you turn the sat down a bit and resample it to a lower resolution!? :P :thumbsup:

[Shiraz]

that's a very fine image Marc - I also like the relatively restrained colour. Regards ray

[Peter Ward]

I think you have gone to the heavy-weight division with that one.

All technical aspects are really well handled.

The colour is very accurate...but...sometimes the market likes neon better ;)

I like it a lot. One for the cool wall :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[multiweb]

:lol: I might send you the RAW files and you can cook your own? :thumbsup:


Thanks Ray. :thumbsup: So do I. But I guess it depends on the mood of the day. This one is a bit like Rho Ophiuchus. Very easy to go crazy on it. :)


Thanks Peter. :thumbsup: Glad you like the colors. Still not 100% on the stars but I was pleased with the colors. Darkest skies I have imaged under so far. Makes colour balancing a cinch. I'll have to dust off the cool wall. It's been neglected for a long while. :lol:

[marc4darkskies]

New version is excellent Marc!

Cheers, Marcus

[multiweb]

That's a textbook Corona Australis. I like everything about it.

Thanks a lot Steve. Glad you liked it. :thumbsup:

[StarVoyager]

Fantastic shot mate!

This is one of my favourite dark nebula; you captured it brilliantly!

[multiweb]

Thanks a lot. :thumbsup:

[astronobob]

Thats some mighty nice dust Marc, I havent done this area yet, but saying that is 5.5hrs tells me its a rather challenging target, That said,, It looks real good, well, to me anyway :thumbsup:
Nice work, and good you had some more dark sky time :thumbsup:

[multiweb]

Thanks Bob. :thumbsup:

[Ross G]

Great looking photo Marc.

So sharp and amazing detail.

I really like your composition.

Over 5 hours exposure...Mike has a great spot there!

Ross.

[multiweb]

Thanks Ross. Sure has. Dark as and good wine handy. :thumbsup:

[David Fitz-Henr]

Nice one Marc - with the 90mm refractor? Good clean field with great detail (I can make out that little spiral at 2 o'clock) :thumbsup: The colour in the new version is very nice; I have found that the data shows that there is a lot of red in and around the darker nebulae in this region.

[SkyViking]

That looks stunning, a very nice Corona Australis there Marc :) I like the saturated version the most, it really brings out all the hues present in this magnificent piece of sky.

[multiweb]

Thanks guys. :thumbsup: I'll have to redo it with saturated clouds and less star colors later on.
