Vela revisited

[Peter Ward]

The nice thing about a 9000 x 6000 pixel image is there are often interesting sections of the data that invite closer scrutiny.

Appalling imaging weather can also be a good motivator to mine old data..:whistle:

I hope you enjoy the up-close-and-personal view here (http://www.atscope.com.au/BRO/gallery519.html)

Very nice Peter. Cropped in like that in Landscape it definitely has a mountains or even wave feel to it. Ok then .... The Alps in the Sky:thumbsup:

Best

[AdamJL]

that's lovely. Like a web made by a drunk, but artistic and psychedelic spider.
Definitely a target on my hit-list.

That one keeps on giving. There is another level of details in a thinner area not often seen within the larger fronts mostly in the Oiii channel but also visible in some of the Ha. Quite a treat. :thumbsup:

[Peter Ward]

Thanks for the vote of confidence gentlemen. The blue areas remind me of cirrus veils that would sometimes drape on the top of actively growing storms in the tropics as I few past them in my previous life.
They were quite a sight! I suspect the process here is not too dis-similar. :question:

Nice Peter, it appears that you're channelling Jackson Pollock with that one! :D

[marc4darkskies]

Oh yeah ... me like much! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Peter Ward]

Ta Andy.
Pollock had indeed crossed my mind when looking for interesting structures in the nebula.
Interestingly, there have been suggestions Pollock was a "fractal nature" artist.
I frankly never saw the attraction of his works....nature does a much better job IMHO :)



Thanks Marcus...I thought you'd like the grand scale on this one ;)

[TrevorW]

Very nice Peter what cause the halo effect around the stars ?? :)

[Ryderscope]

A stunning cosmic canvas Peter, great viewing :thumbsup:

[Peter Ward]

Glad you enjoyed the view.



So you are the guy eh? What halos? :whistle:

Suffice to say the filters I used on this occasion were not AstroDon's...

[AUST2000]

What terrific detail, love it.

Great, thanks, now I HAVE to get a Quad TCC! Oh well, what's another $2500.

Marvellous image! You got tilt well under control. I bet that wasn't easy.

Greg.

[Peter Ward]

Ta.
:lol: Of course you do...but at least the $A is looking pretty healthy at the moment.



Glad you liked the view.

[Placidus]

It is like being there.

[Peter Ward]

So. You like to watch? (..unless you are a fan of Peter Sellers this would make no sense at all ;) )

[Alchemy]

Plenty of detail, bears more than a casual glance

do we have a plate solve for location ?

[Peter Ward]

Thanks...and, no, we do not fancy doing a plate solve. But you are most welcome to do so :)
