It's bright.

It's neon.

Nice FOV sucking in that much of the "foot" Peter. Really showing off what that gear can do.

How much data/time out of interest?

[Peter Ward]

Ha RGB....90/45/45/60 minutes from memory.

Forgot how heavy the 'scope was....:scared2:

Know a good chiropractor?? :)

Eggselent Peter, sharp bok globs & interesting red verticular striations 'bottom edge, left of center' :thumbsup: Noice stuff !!

[Atmos]

Really nice image Peter! I was not even aware that M8 has toes! :lol:

[multiweb]

No comment from me. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[rustigsmed]

awesome,
that is massive FOV that is just one panel right?

Ka Powee! That's got punch, hold on while I get my sunglasses :cool2:
Looks really terrific Peter.
I'm gobsmakked how you do such nice LRGB under light pollution.
Would you considered writing a tutorial and sharing your technique?

[Peter Ward]

I have given talks on urban imaging at both Sydney Observatory and the Mudgee Star party....but as I have mentioned earlier it comes down to maximising signal, while minimising noise. Counterintuitively that also means long subs with large apertures.

As for a tutorial...I have a bit on my plate at present. RASNZ have asked me to be the judge (:eyepop:) for their astro-photo competition across the pond. :thanx:

Maybe after that is done....



Well... one and a half...I was a bit lazy with the overlap.



Come on Marc...you know you want to :lol:



:thumbsup:



Lots of nice stuff in that area...and if you want to bang out just the one image for an evening...bright and easy works for me. :)

[Geoff45]

Excellent stuff Peter. Big field, good definition, iridescent colour, interesting object. What more would you want?

[gregbradley]

Very nice Peter. Honders rocks.

Tak collimating scope? Do you use that on your Honders?

Greg.

[Paul Haese]

Looks good Peter. Colour is nice, detail is sharp and stars are tight.

[Peter Ward]

Thanks Paul...it's "out there" for sure.



Tak scope? :doh: forgot to move the "sponsor" link. Thankfully I removed the Toyota, Telstra and Wild Turkey links :D



A shrubbery would be nice. :)

(this will make absolutely no sense if you are not a Python fan)

[Geoff45]

And a herring?

[Atmos]

As long as you like the laurels, we can all be happy.

[Peter Ward]

Pythian games? :lol:

[Decimus]

An absolutely spectacular image of the Lagoon, Peter, with stunning detail. I love the colour and movement! Great work.
Cheers,
Richard

That's a magnificent photo. The right way to do it - leaving the darkest bits dark (rather than trying to diagramatically show every last photon the scope collected) produced a dramatic, striking image.

By showing what can be done, you've inspired us to consider a shot of just the "toes" which is about all that would fit our FOV.

[Peter Ward]

High praise indeed :thanx:.....I have yet to point my RC16 at bigfoot's toes
(to do list) ..but who knows..... it might reveal he needs a pedicure :)




Glad you enjoyed the view.
