Superb Greg!!:thumbsup:

Remarkable resolution, lovely star colours.
Look at at all that HA!
Kinda wish I had a modded camera when I did my mosaic.

Cheers,

JUstin.

Lovely image, Greg!

[gregbradley]

Thanks Justin. There is quite a bit of Ha. Not as much as in the LMC but still quite a bit. A modded DSLR would be handy for picking that up but you can always image the Ha later and blend it in.



Cheers Larry.

Nice work Greg! Sure is an impressive field with so much going on. The cluster is too small to be 47Tuc. I think you'll find its NGC362. Time for a mosaic so you can capture 47Tuc in the same field! ;) Well done.

[gregbradley]

So it is. Thanks for spotting that. Another mosaic! I may just do that!

Lovely field, Greg! I vote for a mosaic too :)

Another nice cloud result for sure Greg, well done...I can see his royal highness liking them next year too ;)

Wow, that's a great view with lots of punchy colours - I like!

[gregbradley]

Thanks Dave. I am likely to do a mosaic on this area next dark site trip.

The larger image has some noise in it at full resolution, but the view is great. Excellent field.

[gregbradley]

Thanks Paul. It was a between images decision to image it. The other target hadn't risen yet so not a lot of time devoted to it.

Greg.
