Thought this might be worth a look.

Here is a stack of 13x1200sec Ha from my earlier post on M16.

High Res here - http://www.astrobin.com/186672/

I used Straton software http://www.zipproth.com/Straton/ to remove the stars for J-P Metsavianio's tone mapping technique in one easy click. Seems a good value buy at just 15Euros.

Not perfect but it's VERY fast and easy. It's PC only so I had to install BootCamp my mac laptop (hope I don't go the hell for that!).

There are some interesting textures in the nebula that are often somewhat overpowered by stars.

Anyway, thanks for looking :)

Very smooooothhh.

Is that FLT the one with the TEC lens? Yuri used to make the triplet lens for the FLT110 at one stage.

Not sure Greg - I got it 2nd hand at a great price from a guy locally who bought himself an FSQ106. - Maybe there's serial number?

That's impressive Andy. It's nice to be able to study the detail without having to squint into the lights :-)

Like it a lot Andy. I think starless works very well with the eagle as there are quite a few distracting stars in the field.

Cheers

To help, the tec designed flt110 does not make mention that its a tec lens. The TMB designed flt110 says "designed by T.M.B." on the lens cell.

Great image mate.

Thanks mate - yes there's an underworldly quality to it all right. Funny what our brain does to interpret an image, it's a very different perception when those pesky stars are removed completely.



Thanks heaps Marc!



Onya Trev, cheers - as I mentioned above - seems that perception is relative.



Thanks Steve - starless seems to suit this subject, which is ironic as its a famous starforming nebula :)



Thx Alex - can't see anything like that written anywhere obvious though.



Er, thx Simmo - yes the program is good. This operator enjoys using well considered and designed tools - now if it was only available on the mac :thumbsup:
