Looks a bit like the flying spaghetti monster. Glad you left the stars in. :P

Very cool image, Fred! I like the unusual colours and the crazy shapes.



Definitely some noodly appendages going on :lol:

I like that. Very electric and very solid low noise colours and depth.
Really deep. That 6303 is a nice camera.

This is the same object I posted an image of (I thought its NGC1935 the Super Bubble)? Just rotated compared to mine.

Thanks Guys, much appreciated.
Thanks Kevin, flying spaghetti monster is now its official name ;-)
It does look a lot like NGC1935 Greg, but it is different.
Nice one Mike, I had to look that one up!.

Intricate object! and colourful as you say. I find the pink halo around some stars distracting but considering the instrument and operator I'm guessing it's legit not some optical artifact?

[SkyViking]

That's impressive, some fascinating structures and colours indeed. It looks like a painting! Great image and processing, well done :)

Thanks Marco, Roger and Rolf.

Yeeees, the pink halo was left on what, 3 big stars, just to prove they wernt all just white, or that I dont just hate all of them. Point taken, I make sure they are all white in the future, none deserve to have any colour really, given they are all just as boring as each other.
