Dark Tower

[Bart]

Hi,

Slowly getting in some time on the scope, having a remote location has its advantages and disadvantages, like every thing, I guess.

I have struggled to present this in a way that I think it looks both pleasing and natural, this is iteration 37.2! :lol:

Details are below the image as are the size controls.

I hope you find something in it that you like.:thumbsup:

Nicely shows how dense the Milky Way is round there.

Gorgeous star colours.

Wonderful detail around the tip of the nebula and, as Mike n Trish said, great star colours.


Great stuff, Master Simpson! :)

That's a good result, lovely star colours and detail showing. :thumbsup:

Reckon you could probably let the Ha be more dominant though - if you wanted the tower to be seen more prominently.

Have you tried blending HaRGB using Marco's method? (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=138473) works a treat :)

Nice image :)

Very nice image Bart :thumbsup:

An excellent result Bart, yes slightly subdued... but natural, one to be quite happy with I recon :thumbsup: I love the tip of the tower, always reminds me of a fantasy mountain/castle :)

Thanks guys, I tried to be respectful to them, and yes it is definitely packed in there. I wonder what the average distance is between them?:question:



Thank you Mister Duck!:D



Hi Andy, I did do a much harder Ha version and I thought it was a bit garish and it knocked my stars around for some reason. I di want to try to keep it as "LRGB" as I could although I will give that process a go and see how it turns out. :)



Thanks Slawomir! :thanx:



Thanks for having a look Mike. The tip seems to be the only area that really has any definitive structure. I like natural!:eyepop:
