Beautifully done.

We've checked and re-checked: you list RGB filters, but you've achieved the kind of clean detailed contrasty result one might expect with narrowband.

And the colour is exquisite. You've completely avoided that slaughter-house blood and guts look, and produced something truly beautiful.

Echoing Mike and Trish - a beautiful very eye-pleasing image :thumbsup:

[multiweb]

Great framing. Top shot. :thumbsup:

[Bart]

I agree with M&T as well, great colours on a very cool object! :eyepop:

[diegocolonnello]

Yes, it is onlly RGB, i had the script shooting 100 subs each filter until the target was less than 45 deg altitude, so, the observatory sot 138 subs in total... the amount of subs helped the result.......... i love it, thanks for the comment !!!



THANKS SO MUCH!!!



doesn't happen very often, but this one looks good...



Thanks so much...

Really nice Diego! I’m definitely going to have to look in to Voyager, I’ve always wished that SGP would do target limits by altitude.

[Imme]

SGP does doesn’t it?
You can set altitude in the target planning box I believe

[diegocolonnello]

Yes SGP can set limits by Altitude, but the big difference on Voyager is that you can trust the software and simply go to bed and have a good imaging run all the way to the end, every night, good guiding, focusing and flats, reliability is not the best feature on SGP.

You're on a very productive roll mate - nice image :)

What M&T said.:thumbsup:

There is one thing about the image I don't like....I haven't been able to capture something similar or anything at all really.... :rain: :rain: :rain:

[Imme]

Interesting you say that, it has worked flawlessly for me so far.
Flips, focusing, multiple targets in a night.

I have no reason to look at anything else

[sutekh]

The object is the IC 4685 complex (not 4585).

A very pleasing image but a bit overly red. There are some blue reflection nebula areas in there that are not showing through in your image.

Greg.

New Version, Better Processing, hopefully better result..
