I know, mate! Just added you on AB. My one and only image on there is of this very region. :)

Lovely result Terry, this area is more commonly imaged in full narrowband these days so it is always nice to see a quality non NB image of these two beasts :thumbsup:

One thing though, them is the Fighting Dragons mate ;) ...dancing dragons, really?? sheesh...:rolleyes: :lol:

Hi Mike. It's the title of an album I had way way back. For some reason I have always liked that title. It has always conjured up up images of sleeping dragons. Dangerous things that I didn't want to disturb, just admire. Now fighting dragons are something that you can hear and avoid. I really just like looking at these guys.

Thanks for the great comment about the quality of the image. It means a lot.

H - if I get a chance there are some really interesting areas around here I would love to image next year. Hopefully, the weather is a little more favourable for all.

Hmmm? :question:... :lol:

[strongmanmike]

That first one was Hubble palette narrowband and the second was LHaRGB :P

That's a spectacular image Terry.
Those 11000 chips are bloody brilliant aren't they!

Clever Mike, I missed that. Excellent. Deep down, you ou know those dragons are really dancing. Just come back in a few millions years and check out their next move. ;)

DJ Scotty, Great big pixels with deep wells are a nice combination. Old school stuff still works. :thumbsup:

Nice image, Terry. As Mike said, it's nice to see a non-Hubble version occasionally.

Cheers,
Rick.
