Central Milkyway in Infrared

[multiweb]

Just got around to process that one from a few weeks ago. Some moon glow as it was close to previous full moon. It's 3 panels of 5x5min. The field is centered on the cat paws which is barely visible. There's a plate solve here (https://k0czsw.dm1.livefilestore.com/y2pVfabRJnQnw72xXPspETZmlScQjMyWAld toZSTws-r1ZXg9Ef6NY2O3ZdLSOpXpwPnIxT7Q-SEI_YJcVWhsgoLlesSQB_tKDbtQ9NOWAuU5 I/Central_MW_ir_100mm_HD_T.jpg?psid=1 )that'll help identifying the objects. M7 is recognisable at the right of the field. North is up.

There's a HD version here (https://w7qw3w.dm1.livefilestore.com/y2p0-_gOIACjANYJ-j6Bb1FN_cDsrfln22HDXmCdfy-B-vY9IU_w5qp0V-h2-hZOlzfEdKKgWbfSUahUbrgysLDWhNh9F0pC Fzv3104UOdwy8g/Central_MW_ir_100mm_HD.jpg?psid=1)[1.5MB] and something a little bigger here (http://www.astropic.net/astro/Central_MW_ir_100mm_fff.jpg)[3MB]

Fascinating, Marc! It's like a foreign galaxy :)

Thanks guys. By next year I should have enough big panels to stitch a big one :)

[naskies]

Nice work, Marc. A little spooky without the Ha!

[RobF]

Nice one Marc.
Do you see this as a natural evolution on to your suburban Ha work?

[multiweb]

Thanks mate.



Yeah something different to do. Not much more I can do from here in term of colors. Might try UV next.

Weird looking without the Ha in the field. Should make an interesting looking final image when the mosaic is finished.

Interesting.... but boring huh :question:.....:lol:

Would be good to see a large mozaic though, I agree :)
