Corona Australis Nebulae from QLD Astrofest

[jjjnettie]

Globular cluster NGC 6723, reflection nebulae NGC 6726 and 6727 and lots of dusty stuff, all within the constellation Corona Australis. 1hr and 50min of data, taken through my 127mm refractor using the CDS1100D camera. Stacked in DSS and processed in CS3.

Nice one! Is that the data from the night you got the guiding under control?

[DarkArts]

Well done Nettie. Captured that sooooo well.

[Regulus]

Saw your name and thought; 'Gee, haven't heard from you for a while'.
A masterful way to announce your return. It's very pleasing to look at, and I hadn't really stopped to look at how the dust hangs a strong 'right' turn behind the reflection nebs 'til now. Interesting stuff.
Enjoyed the image much.
Well done.

Great shot there, and nicely processed. Impressive reward for time and equipment too.

Looks great jjjnettie! Wonderful to see some lovely images from Astrofest already. :thumbsup:

The night the Green Fairy visited, she distracted me so much that I totally didn't notice that I hadn't included the Globular cluster in the FOV.
But I've since thrown all the data into the pot and came up with this image.
3hrs worth of subs now. :)
I'm pretty happy with it, but it's given me the inspiration to really try this again without the absinthe.

[RickS]

Despite what Marc says green and astro imaging do not mix :lol:

The new image looks very smooth, JJJ :thumbsup:

[multiweb]

This is a preconception. Everything green is harmless. It's only a matter of concentration :)

[vlazg]

Very Cool JJJ, love this area :thumbsup:

[jjjnettie]

She's more a turquoise than green.

[jjjnettie]

You guys are just never going to let that go, are you. :rolleyes:

[RickS]

You made a huge impression with that green fairy, JJJ. We're all still feeling inadequate ;)

Very good result for such a short total exposure Jeanette
