Thackeray globules

[multiweb]

90 min Saturday night on IC2944 in reasonable seeing. C11 at prime, QHY9 and Baader 7nm Ha.

Still working out subs length and how many. Processing is also very different at that sampling ~0.4asp so a lot more practice is needed.

Thank you Rick. :thumbsup: Might do a tricolor on these when I have the AO working.

Nice tight detail Marc. The luminance on the large globule is well shown. Cracking stuff.

Nice details Marc

Artificial spikes very seldom appear real in my opinion but these spikes actually look pretty good :)

Thank Paul. :thumbsup: Yeah it turned out alright. The seeing was ok until 23:00 then it deteriorated very quickly. I makes a huge impact at that FL.



Thanks Mike. :thumbsup: Yeah I use StarSpike pro from ProDigital Software. It is a Photoshop plugin with lots of settings. You can match the blurring of the stars in your pic so the spikes blend in nicely and don't look pasted. Also add secondary reflections, little halos, etc... all the stuff that makes a picture imperfect.

That's a credit to you Marc. Impossibly sharp. You've got the C11 purring. There's detail in some of those smallest Bok's that I've never noticed before.

Really good Marc. Those globules are really crisp.

Thanks Mike. :thumbsup: It's about time the C11 gave me something back after all that tlc. ;)
I've actually used your chook tri-color pic as a reference. I reckon you have all the bits and more if you look it up closely, and in color :)

Thanks Geoff. :thumbsup: Yeah the seeing was quite good at the time I was on the chook. Made a big difference.


Thanks a lot Tim. :thumbsup:

Just lovely!

I have recently imaged this from our observatory at the Kalahari, and enjoyed every moment of it, if you like to take a look:

Again, a beautiful rendition.
