NGC5367 - Snot Monster

[Garbz]

I'm sure this has a real name too, but after a few beers at Astrofest we just came up with names for things. So gentlemen I present to you my rendition of the Snot Monster :lol:

QHY10 + Meade ED80
4.5h with a mix of 10min and 5min subs

I had to crop rather tightly on it as I had a strange rainbow effect appear in some of my Astrofest pictures and it was visible at the edges of frames.

[h0ughy]

lol yes could be the effects of moon burn too

That's also known as CG12. It's a cometary globule and is one of my favourites. Beautifully done.

That came up really well Chris. Nice capture.

[troypiggo]

Lovely and rich image. Nice contrast.

[Garbz]

Your turn now Troy, where's yours :)

[troypiggo]

Due to passing clouds, I had incomplete imaging runs on that one. Never got all the colour runs done :(

[Garbz]

Damn! Didn't realise you didn't get it. :sadeyes:

[strongmanmike]

Really nice looking image Chris, nice work... but that's snot a very nice thing to call a nebula :sadeyes: :P

Ok, snot funny...

I'm sure a few beers were drunk when we coined the name. I blame Peter, it was all his idea. :lol:

[strongmanmike]

Aaaah, makes sense now, I think it is a great name, The Snot Monster it is :thumbsup:

[RickS]

Hmmm... is there an inverse to SCNR or HLVG? Nice work, Chris.

[Garbz]

Thinking I should add more green to it so it lives up to it's name? :lol:

[Placidus]

Seems to be a very difficult target, yon Snot Monster. Pearls and rubies, and topazes too. Beautiful star colours, and a tiny edge-on spiral.

[ozstronomer]

Great Image Chris, love the star colours.

Well Done

This is one of my favourite objects in the night sky. It is in my top ten list. I tried imaging this a couple of years back based on the view I had from Tom Davis.

I found it to be incredibly hard with short subs. Your image has good colour and appears quite smooth. Well done on this image.

[Garbz]

Thanks guys. And yes Paul I agree, not the easiest object to shoot. It was actually unknown to me until Troy started shooting it. And when I started I was getting nothing but garbage until Geoff came and said I needed at least 10min subs to do it justice.

How right he was :)

Nice one Chris, sounds like a very difficult object. Great image mate.
