My Best Non Cyan/Blue Tarantula Neb!

[EzyStyles]

Hi Guys,

Took this last night right before the clouds came rolling in. A bit misty still in the sky and bright. exp on this shot was 10 x 5 minutes at ISO 400. Its not blue or cyan, personally, i think the tarantula is green/brownish and not red :lol:. no im serious check out brad moores ;) ... ok i better goto bed now 4:57am... nites..

ps: the tarantula wasnt meant to be right on the centre so i can capture the other nebs .

Cheers

here's version 2... you probably can't tell the difference but i can justt...

Got to bed Eric. You've collecting some pleasing data. My pick of the two is the revised version (image in the second post). Appears more vibrant, though both are great. Well done.

Nice images Eric.
I must say I prefer the first. It seems less pushed/harsh and easier on the eye on my monitor.
Well done.:)

Excellent image Eric, The tarantula looks very nice and I like the colors! the other fainter nebulosity looks a bit on the reddish side but very, very nice
:thumbsup:

Beautiful work Eric.
I prefer number 1 for same reasons as Jeff, but you've managed to pull more out of number 2 pic so both are great.
Doug:thumbsup:

Great Images Eric. A lot of the stars appear blue on my monitor. Is that how you intended it?

I like the green in the centre yet plenty of red throughout, looks great

Well done Eric.

Eric,
very nice, great FOV/frame?focus
detail is quite good especially as you shoot at ISO 400 (i am waiting for a good mount to try that!)

I like the colors but like Peter, the stars seem a bit too blue, what happens if you set a white point 5x5 pixel on a bright star ( i have no doubt that there are more precise ways of doing this but I'm still a newbie)?

but its a great shot
well done

Eric that is some image, fantastic work, IMHO the 3rd one you posted takes the cake, but of coarse they are all brilliant, well done indeed.

Eric,
you can disregard my totally idiotic advice from earlier....
here's something that seems to work on the blue stars without affecting the rest of the image: in PS, got to adjustments/saturation, select blue channel and drop it right down, see what you think.
Of course, it's quite possible that all these stars in that region are supposed to be blue...in which case I should probably wait til I start imaging again before trying to help others!
:]
I've pretty much forgotten all of the little I knew because of these months and months of rain....
cheers

cheersss guys thanks. peter & frank, yes the stars are blue around that region. not the normal blue but a bright blue :shrug: if you know what i mean :P . i have seen alot of examples of the big spider with those blue stars.

Anyway, after seeing big mike's tarantula (im his secret admirer but hushh :D ) i had to alter my image. Did alot of changes see if can tell the differences. Here it is once again (and this is the FINAL FINAL VERSION 4) :P

[strongmanmike]

...I love you.....rrrr work too :lol:

Excellent tarantula region Eric, nicely framed and certainly vibrant colours. You've captured the green colour too which is often lacking in Tarantula shots - it "is" real :thumbsup:

Just remember though that excited hydrogen includes H-Beta emission as well as H-alpha and since H-Beta is blue light, hydrogen regions are not deep red, they are more of a magenta colour.

See ya honey ;)

[EzyStyles]

LOL cheerssss mike! totally agree shouldnt be red at all. heres another not too red :)

this is it, THE ABSOLUTELY FINAL version.. .. . i promise.. verison5
