A bit noisy, but hey, not a lot of exposure time considering.
I tell you what, its so sweet, looking at dismal sydney skies, firing up the PC, a bit of mousing and Photoshoping, and presto, a narly pic :D.
Yeah, yeah, its cheating, whatever, fun never the less :P

Fun image :)
looks more like a nefarious sea creature at the bottom of some pond...

Fred I know you are a skilled imager, however, although the content is good , I cant say I like all the colour effect, but that is just MHO.

Excellent image as always! the full res image really stands out and the mapped colours with the yellow/green/red is just amazing. It looks like a bug.

What a cool image Fred.
You have handled the processing quite well for such short exposures through narrowband filters at a relatively slow FR.
Looks like one of those deep sea fish with the big mouth and a bright light hanging from a stalk on their heads, swimming up from the depths :)
The LMC is full of fascinating bits and pieces and yes long FL is pretty useful at showcasing them individually, nice work :thumbsup:

Have you ever heard of the The Rorschach test? :)
I see a fluffy bunny hopping over a field covered in flowers.....not...

He is as sane as you or me Peter:whistle:, but as for Basenuts image - well coulld be interpreted in many ways - depends on how many photons short of a full image you are Eh!;)
I like the result Fred.
A great looking image Fred, the colours are fantastic and the detail is lovely.
Definitely a critter from the black lagoon to me.
Cheers

Thanks Jay, theres a few bugs around the LMC like this, good narrowfeild fodder.
This is a Hubble pallete, but others could have worked. NB colour is very subjective, not to everyones taste ;)
Gee, Thanks Eric, but a bit more data would reduce the noise.
Thanks Mike, looking forward to a NB ww pics from your goodself :D
Not eating those flower aye Peter :P
Thanks Houghy. Well, I was a few subs short of stack whilst PSing this, interpretation was remarkably clear at the time :).
Ta Ric, Ive got another one in the can :thumbsup:
Thanks Mike, beginning to sound like we're all a bunch of hippys :D
