Another brick in the wall....

[Peter Ward]

I've been working on this one for a bit, and am pleased with the results so far, with the OIII and SII yet to come. The H-alpha data is shown here at just under 50% res.

NGC6188 in Ara is a stunning vista IMHO...A tight cluster of stars that illuminate massive evaporative walls in layers....I think they give great depth to the scene.

The result is here (http://www.atscope.com.au/BRO/gallery430.html)

Oh my goodness - You are .......... THERE !!!

Wonderful as is, in monochrome. Ultra-contrasty and sharp :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Best

:thumbsup: fantastic image.

[Andy01]

So sharp you could cut yourself!
Amazing details. :thumbsup:

[Peter Ward]

Thanks JA, Andy and Dave. While this object looks good in wide field (where I rate Martin Pugh’s effort as the best out there), there are some surprising details that a narrow field view reveals...hopefully the weather will allow the full enchilada soon :)

[Atmos]

Still rasor sharp Peter!

[Peter Ward]

Thanks Colin...just finished massaging the data...just a smidge...in PixInsight.

The new rendition now just a tad brighter, smoother and sharper

Super hi-rez image. That's great.

That Alluna was a good buy.

Greg.

[Peter Ward]

Thanks very much Greg.

Yep...the planets aligned at the time... as with two manufacturer price rises in the interim, plus the $A to Euro falling about 20%....
I simply could not afford the same (albeit superbly engineered) 'scope today (well, maybe, but my accountant would go ballistic)

I've been delighted with the whole package from the get-go... as Marcus noted..the shipping crate was impressive! :lol:

[Placidus]

Just beautiful.

[Peter Ward]

Too kind :thanx:

[RickS]

Very crisp, Peter. Should be a stunning image in colour.

[SimmoW]

Yes very crisp! Can't wait for the colour version

[Stevec35]

Excellent as it always is with this scope Peter.

Cheers

Steve

[Peter Ward]

Thanks Steve, Simon, Rick. I was hoping to get the OIII data tonight....but the attached observatory Skycam pic says it all :doh:

[Atmos]

There is stars there Peter, that’s no excuse ;)

[RobF]

Inspiring stuff, and great work.

[Paul Haese]

Very sharp and nice contrast rendering Peter.

[h0ughy]

i don't get the wall bit - looks nothing like a wall to me? however the details are exquisite

[Peter Ward]

Thanks. as for the name...simply a follow-on from another post...So... How about a flamin' hedge? :)





Thanks gentlemen...still waiting for the weather to give me the OIII and SII...
Thankfully narrow band doesn't get overly phased by the moon. :thumbsup:

[h0ughy]

Near your place recently i would believe that;)

[marc4darkskies]

Alas, I've only managed to find one of my socks. :sadeyes: I'll say no more.
:eyepop:

PS: If you'd posted full res I'm sure I'd have lost both socks.

[redbeard]

Wow!

So 3D to me. You could walk along that edge like the great wall!

Fantastic! Well done.

Damien.

[Peter Ward]

Ta Marcus...you know I don't do "big" on the web :)...to quote one R.L. Jones..."don't give it away"



Thanks Damien.

Also, as I am not a fan old posts constantly re-surfacing, time to let this one sink down the list, at least until I get some colour :)

[multiweb]

Very cool. That should look very nice in HST. :thumbsup:
