IC1275 - Toes of Bigfoot

[cometcatcher]

NGC6559 / IC1275 and friends with M8 being the rest of the foot. Fairly pleased with how this came out though not the easiest to process. There's a lot going on here. Ha nebula, reflection nebula, dark nebula and star fields.

Thanks Martin!



Thanks Greg! The weather was kind to us over the last Moon free period. Cold too so the non cooled DSLR got quite a workout.

Thanks Mike. I wasn't sure if I had overdone the colour or not. Sometimes when you stare at the image trying to process it, the brain can do strange things. I had to walk away, return and do some processing, walk away and repeat the whole process.

I used to do a lot of darkroom printing and the same thing would happen. It takes a lot of practice to train the brain to ignore itself sometimes!

A lovely complex image Kevin.
