Some fighting dragons, NGC 6188.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Hi,

Here's a late NGC 6188.
When processing this image I ran with the colours from the camera rather than trying to introduce more red, quite a lot of saturation of course.
Certainly abundance of colours.

Unmodded canon 1100D, baader type III coma corrector.

15 x 8 minute subs, ISO 800, 8" F/4 astrograph HEQ pro 5 mount. Orion mini guider.

Stacked in DSS, processed in PS2.

Cheers,

Justin.

Love it. A great misty feel and wonderful star colours.

Nice one Justin. It does indeed have a misty feel to it. :thumbsup:

[multiweb]

Superb colors. Love it. Do you have a higher res?

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Thanks Greg!:thumbsup:



Thanks David!:thumbsup:



Thanks Marc!:thumbsup:

Here's a link to a higher res version, good luck getting into it though!

It's really glitchy at the moment.:mad2:

Don't know why I ever went with it. :rolleyes:

Cheers,

Justin.

[Bassnut]

Excellent with an unmodded DSLR, well done!.... And the link works fine.

[pluto]

That's really nice!
I like the colours :)

[RickS]

Another champion shot, Justin!

[cometcatcher]

Very nice field Justin. I can't normally see all these sky animals but I see the dragons!

[RobF]

Really enjoyed this one. Not harsh on the eye at all - nicely collected and processed.

[Elio]

Very nice Justin, your imaging with unmodded dslr and poor integration is simply stunning ;)

[atalas]

Very fine work Justin...and maybe the best I've seen come from a DSLR!

[Camelopardalis]

Beautiful Justin, there be dragons alright :thumbsup:

[Stevec35]

Another beauty - you certainly keep turning them out.

Cheers

Steve

[alpal]

[Rod771]

Well done Justin! You are the DSLR king :D :thumbsup:

[Elio]

Unmodded indeed :eyepop:

[David Fitz-Henr]

Great image Justin; as others have said nice star colours with an overall misty look to the image :thumbsup:

[Shiraz]

ripper image Justin - real wow factor there :thumbsup:

Thanks Lewis!:thumbsup:

I presume you mean in image hosting site?
Not sure I can save in sufficient size in PNG on IIS.



Thanks Fred!:thumbsup:

Nice to have your keen eye look over the image.



Thanks Hugh!:thumbsup:
Certainly a wide variety of colours.



Thanks Rick!:thumbsup:



Thanks Kevin!:thumbsup:

A few more ports on a cold night and the animals leap from the sky!:D



Thanks Rob!:thumbsup:



Thanks Elio!:thumbsup:

Nice to have input from a fellow DSLR imager.:)



Thanks Louie!:thumbsup:

To be honest I wasn't sure how this one would be received. Always a little doubt after staring at it for so long.



Arrrr!:D Thanks Dunk!:thumbsup:



Thanks Steve!:thumbsup:



Thanks Allan!:thumbsup:

Did have a look around the interweb after processing this image to see how others had processed NGC 6188, and was happy I came up with something a little different.



Thanks Fadz!:thumbsup:



Thanks Rod!:thumbsup:

I think there's a few others that can claim that title.






Thanks David!:thumbsup:

It's a great region for the stars alone, but hard to balance them out though.

Cheers,

Justin.

Thanks Ray!:thumbsup:

Had another look and I really love the colors. Makes me wanna try harder on this one in RGB next time I have a chance. How dark are your skies?

[strongmanmike]

Great stuff Justin always like looking at an image of the fighting dragons ;)

Mike

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Look forward to your rendition Marc!:thumbsup:



Thanks Mike!:thumbsup:

Yep, so many ways to process the dragons, always worth a look at a new image of them.

Cheers,

Justin.

[Octane]

Well done, Justin. This looks great.

NGC 6188 is a very difficult object to process. I've tried several times over the last 8 years and haven't gotten a version I'm happy with. Next year is the year!

Nice photo Justin.

I like the colours.

Ross.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Thanks H!:thumbsup:

Glad you like it.:)
Wish there was an easy formula for processing, but for these more complicated regions it seems to be more fiddling than formula is necessary.



Thanks Ross!:thumbsup:


Cheers,

Justin.
