I've just spent a couple of months collecting data on part of the Antlia Galaxy Cluster. I ended up with 28.5 hours worth of data I used and a further 10 hours of Ha. Unfortunately I could not use the Ha data as it does not show the supernova remnant well enough. That will have to wait until next year for me to collect further data. I think it can be said that Rolf's effort in this field is epic.

There are a lot of galaxies in this field. Some part of the cluster but a lot much further out. Some are well red shifted and were beginning to show up well. I think I like NGC3269 the best though with its rings.

I did also manage to capture some IFN in the field as well as the faint beginnings of the supernova remnant to the lower left.

Some of the galaxies are showing a strong green cast but other than that it’s a very well presented image Paul! And you’re only about 120 hours behind Rolf :lol:

Very tidy. I do like the spiral top right that looks like a UFO.

Nice one. :thumbsup:

The cast is now rectified. Hmm tired eyes. :shrug: Yes the short fall of 120 hours would have a significant impact, though I reckon 70 might be a good figure to work towards in the coming years.



Yep that is NGC3269, that is my favourite too.

Paul, That is glittering and awe inspiring.....a lovely field and you have captured the depth of the objects so well.
Cheers,

Well done on this one Paul - an excellent image! To me everything is just about perfect.

Cheers

Nice work Paul. I imaged this a while ago... even if yours doesn't quite compare to Rolf's epic effort, it's much better than my attempt!

Just totally awesome. Exquisitely beautiful. A fascinating field photographed and processed with great skill.

It may not have turned up as much as Rolfs Captain Super Green Lantern effort but a great result on a cool grouping of galaxies none the less.
