Colourful NGC1365

[Stevec35]

This started out as a test image as I continue to troubleshoot hardware and software problems. It seems in this game that as soon as you fix one thing something else goes wrong. I suppose it's not a bad NGC1365 but should have been a lot better. I cranked up the colour a bit.

Cheers

Steve

Looks great to me Steve!

A beautiful photo Steve.

Great composition and detail.

I love the strong, rich colours.

Not bad for a test shot.

Ross.

A bit bright for me, though I'm pretty sure others have said the same of some of my images :D Nice details, Steve!

[multiweb]

Very nice. :thumbsup: A little too saturated colours to my taste but not sure if it's my laptop screen. :question:

[Rex]

Really good amount of detail in that one Steve. Not sure about the colours, but that's the beautiful thing about this hobby. Personal preference comes into every image we take, and we get to make our own images, our own. So good job. :)

[LewisM]

Agree with Marc, but still a cracker image.

[Stevec35]

Thanks Laurie



Thanks Ross. I've actually toned down the colours a bit now.



Thanks Rick



Thanks Marc. I've now toned the colours down a bit. I did overdo them.



Thanks Rex. See above re the colours.



Thanks Lewis

Still a great NGC1365 image Steve.

Thanks Steven

Yeah rather vivid but I can handle that...it is NGC 1365 after all :love:

Nice pic Steve:thumbsup:
If you look carefully you can see the very faint remains of Supernova
SN2012fr (http://www.rochesterastronomy.org/sn2012/sn2012fr.html). or it is a star close to the position of the supernova
Cheers :thumbsup:

Nice! You shot it from the Canberran burbs? Good job! :)

[gregbradley]

Good image Steve. Quite a bit of detail.

Greg.

[naskies]

Nice capture, Steve.

[Stevec35]

Thanks Dave



Thanks Greg



Thanks. Yes from my backyard with the usual light pollution and poor seeing.



Thanks Ron. I had forgotten about that supernova.



Thanks Mike. Sometimes I do pour on the colour a bit too much but I felt this image could take it and I was bought up in the Gabany school after all.

[Shiraz]

great image Steve - so much fine detail.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Quite like it Steve!

Personally I like more vivid colours, especially in galaxies.
Just makes it pop.

Cheers,

Justin.

Purdy rendition Steve, great details and dig the size scale, check the double nuclie, awesome ! !

[Stevec35]

Thanks Justin. Colour can be overdone but up to a point I agree that it does improve the pop factor.



Thanks Ray



Thanks Bob. NGC1365 is certainly one of the southern highlights IMHO.

Good one Steve, ditto for the color but still a lovely image of one of my preferred galaxies :)

Clear skies

Thanks Marco. I would have liked to lighten up the background a bit but I had problems with noise. Possibly the colour is a bit strong too but I was brought up in the R Jay Gabany school.

[dutch2]

Well done, beautiful image.:thumbsup:

[Stevec35]

Thanks very much Ingrid

Nice detail Steve. I tried this one recently, but haven't been able to get the tight detail you've managed. I agree with posts above about the colour being a bit overdone-- "gabanyed" you might say.

Steve, I almost always look at people galaxy images for Supernova,
Past or present.
Sometimes you can spot the remains many months after they have reached their peak brightness.
With Amateur's going really quite deep, it is amazing to see supernovae so long after they were first spotted.

I almost got a supernova in NGC5128 once. Took an image a weeks before Bob Evans discovered it but I never noticed it myself.



Thanks Geoff. I'm a Gabany disciple so I do tend to colour things a bit.
