Iris Nebula widefield - Last repro...

[Elio]

Hi guys
I tried to catch up the best from my Iris, now it takes a 3d effect, I think it's my best image :)
Taken from the dark site on Sibillini Mount (1600mt) on august, are 29 subs 720s@800iso with Taka BabyQ-Eos60Da_CDS-Avalon M-Uno mount, processed in Iris (the right software for this subject :P ) and refined with CS5.
Hope you like...thanks for visit and comments ;)

HOLY SMOKES! That has to be the most 3 dimensional image I have ever seen!

BRILLIANT work. That dust cloud to the left literally seems to be in front of everything else.

Wonderful image!

I 2nd That LewisM ! Thats an awesome image Elio, you Have set the bar high for yourself now ;) I wonder if there'll be matching software for your next Target ?
Dam nice image mate, well done :thumbsup:

[LewisM]

The bar for DSLR images keeps getting raised around here :)

[naskies]

Very impressive, Elio! It's as if I'm peering through a curtain of space dust. Your dark site must get pretty cold :lol:

[strongmanmike]

What an incredible area that is, nicely revealed Elio :thumbsup: It could be a little bit over smoothed :question: but a lovely image of some complex dust clouds all the same :thumbsup:

Viva la DSLR !!!

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Amazing image Elio!!

What all the others have said!!

At 1600 mtrs above sea level, ideal conditions for AP.

Cheers,

Justin.

Nice one Elio! Don't often see such a wide field rendition of the Iris. Looks great. A notch too smooth for my liking as well and composition is a little confusing. This is no doubt a tough target for a DSLR so you've done exceptionally well to bring out the dusty surrounds. Look forward to seeing more.

[Peter Ward]

A spectacular result... I would not have picked this as a DSLR image as there are no spikes or artifacts.

Simply excellent. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[RobF]

Very high quality work and an area we don't get to see from S hemisphere. Wonderful!

[Elio]

Thanks Lewis, yes the 3d effect I love of this image... ;)

Thanks Luiz!

Bob, 2nd is welcome as the 1st...thanks! ;)
it's hard to find the software for my next image, "cloudy" it could be at the moment :(

I love this cooled dslr, nothing to envy with colours ccd :thumbsup:

Thanks Dave...don't worry the trip is free :D

Thanks Mike, I agree for the smooth you see , but I like the result achived, at the end it's a reflex :)

Yessss :thumbsup:
Thanks Richard

Thanks Justin, yes the sky of "Forca Canapine" on Monti Sibillini is the right site, sin it's 100km from my house :(

Thanks Cam, yes, epic it's right, the "battle" to bring out the dust was hard :lol:

Thanks Jason!
The composition was made to keep dust clouds of Iris nebula as a cascade from the upper corner, the rest of darks companion are fallen into my "wide" focal lenght...sorry I disagrree for this, forgive me, you know how says ancient Latin? De gustibus not disputandum est :thumbsup:
A great help for result is the short f ratio of my baby-fsq and the Avalon M-Uno mount (http://www.avalon-instruments.com/en/prodotto/m-uno-fast-reverse-eng/): with this I took 27 perfect subs of 720", nearly six hours, I don't waste a second of the darkness of that night (for us it was summer...), not even the noise of meridian flip :thumbsup:

Thanks Peter for the kind words, proud you mistake a dslr for a ccd :D
I don't like artificial spikes, on the lens are a hiding place... imho ;)

Thanks Rob :)
In return I can see many beautiful works about South here in IIS, a good exchange isnt't it? ;)

cheers to all, my friends, and thanks again for many comments and likes :thanx:

See you soon :thumbsup:

Hi Elio,
A great pic beautifully processed.
I think maybe it's a bit too smoothed -
I always like to keep a bit of noise in the pic but that's artistic license.
Those Baby Q's are great scopes.
You have professional looking results with a DSLR.

cheers
Allan
