Sidonio'd or Warded?

[LewisM]

Resampled the whole hot tamale of Eta Carinae Neb in PixInsight, ran a whole bunch of Rick-arithms, threw it into PS CS6, got a nuclear pink flamboyant Dame Edna, then toned it back somewhat.

I dunno...pink isn't me...I like red (heck, surrounded by redheads...)

Whatchathink? :screwy:

It is a little Pink, as you say but i reckon it is probably closer in colour than some which are over saturated at times.

I quite like it.

Leon

[multiweb]

Yeah I also reckon it's much better. Looks pink because it's deep but the colours are on the money IMHO. :thumbsup:

[gregbradley]

Hey I think it turned out pretty well.

Greg.

[strongmanmike]

Actually ain't half bad Lewis (for you anyway :whistle:) and I agree with Marc...colours look ok :thumbsup:

Mike
for those who read things literally.. I am pretty confident Lewis got the humour of what I put in the brackets...I hope :question:

[LewisM]

I am deeply offended Mike. DEEPLY. To the bottom of my corpulence. And that's deep.

:)

I hated PI for years...now it KIND OF makes sense. KIND of, in that twisted Spanish odd way. Like gazpacho.

[RickS]

Fixed it for ya, Lewis :lol:

[LewisM]

You pixel-mathed the algorithms out of that, now it's nothing but puce.

Or puke. Either eether.

[Kunama]

Nice work Lewis, though I still prefer the view through an eyepiece on an 18" Newt.... :D:D or a pair of Tacks....

[LewisM]

Tacks in your eye...sounds piercing.

It is a lovely Vista in a nicely made Newt. The time I looked at it with Guinevere was splendid.

[atalas]

Like the other version better....this looks washed out to me dude.

[Peter Ward]

A senior check said to me many years ago "you should always chase the pink bits"...which you've done in spades here :lol:

(...he was of course referring to the target information on Boeing instrument panels ! )

[Atmos]

Looks pretty good Lewis, even if a WIP :P

[h0ughy]

It's lewised

[LewisM]

Oh great, so it's stuffed... way to deflate a guy Dave.

[h0ughy]

don't mention it as it could have been far worse, could have been houghied

[LewisM]

Final revision, I PROMISE!

https://www.astrobin.com/full/333426/B/?nc=user

More dark contrast, "attenuated" pink.

[RB]

Oh it's a hard choice Lewis.
I like both you're red and your pink versions mate. EDIT: and now a third "Max Factor" version while I was typing. :shrug:
You've certainly got some nice data there and it's a huge improvement over the horsey data.
That one got fouled up somehow.
Maybe settle for something in between the red and pink, I don't know.... maybe try again.
If it turnes out nice then you could say you RB'd it. :P

Which reminds me, I must redo my images, it's been years since I've taken any Deep Sky objects.
Just have to decide whether to use the ol' TOA130 or try out the TOA150.

:question:

:D

[LewisM]

Did you read the deleted post I made? :lol: Or did Dave tell ya?

Yeah, considering it's a touch over 1hr data in severe LP, it's not half bad if I say so myself. Speaks a lot about fast f-ratios (but the Baby Q at f/5.3 is not THAT fast - wait till I get the reducer from Claude...then it'll burn!)

Horsey...well, it is pretty dim to start with, and again it's only 1 hr with an 85mm scope! Give it SOME credit :) OK, you don't have to. Thing I like about the Horse is the framing - I LOVE long portrait style framing for objects like these rather than landscape - accentuates the object itself. Of course, a diffuse neb looks better in landscape.

Yes, IMAGE YOU LAZY SOD! I thought I was bad, always finding excuses and continual excuses of "testing the gear". Nike it! (Just do it!)

[LewisM]

Funny - with my Microsoft "Night Light" on, the revision looks pinker than your undies! :rofl: Turn it off and it's not THAT pink.

[RB]

I hacked into your account (with your wife's help) (she works in intelligence you know?) (btw she smuggles in a Nokia 3110 into your house) and I read your deleted post. :lol:

Actually, I really did want to comment on both your HH and ETA (Rita) threads but just didn't get time and then forgot.
We (mods) were running around this afternoon tracking down a bogus IIS member, LOL.
Al got him, yay !!

Anyway, I do, in all honestly, like the improvements you've made in your imaging.
The HH is difficult and running out of imaging time doesn't help.
I like the framing, well done.
Eta is also lovely, but you'll drive yourself mad trying to get the right hues.
I know I did, and still didn't get them LOL.

It's very nice what you've come up with and it's good data.
It's your call which one appeals to you the most.

Now as to "Nike" it (just do it), yeah I agree.
Problem is, as you know, I have way too many hobbies and toys now to play with. :D

:)

[LewisM]

Attach drone to TOA150 and voila! Problem solved..or created..

[RB]

I wish I could, no need for guiding then, just use gimbal lock like Apollo 13....:P

[RB]

... and now of course I have Nike shoe ads appearing in my Google feeds....
Thanks Lew.

:mad2:

[LewisM]

Houston, we have a problem...

[LewisM]

Meh, I still have chicken silhouettes and Hindenburg destroying laser pointers in mine...

[RB]

Stop it.
We'll end up getting "Wicked Laser" ads in German....

:P

Frecher Lewis.
Ich habe die fett Atome bei Cern im Video gesehen als ob sie auf der Autoban sind.

[graham.hobart]

I really like Rick's version.
But then again I live in Tas. WTFWIK. .I..

[LewisM]

Beep Beep, geh mir aus dem Weg, Narr!

[LewisM]

expat Pom, living in Tasmania...OK, you are excused! :rofl:
