Tarantula region in Ha +ve and -ve

[strongmanmike]

There is so much HII around the main spider it is amazing really.

Here is the Ha data only (not posted before :thumbsup:) from last years Tarantula SIIHaOIII effort

Firstly in Positive (http://www.pbase.com/strongmanmike2002/image/129921263/original) and to really accentuate just how much HII is in the area here it is in Negative (http://www.pbase.com/strongmanmike2002/image/129922016/original)

Will have to have another crack at this with the new larger more sensitive 16803 ProLine and 12" F3.8 when it arrives :D

Looks excellent Mike :thumbsup:
But? Why is it upside down? :question:
Kidding aside, loads of detail in this image:thumbsup:

Those images are just awesome, I would love a try at this monster but would have to be closer in.

Top image Mike, thanks for the view.

That's pretty awesome Mike. Love the image scale. :thumbsup: When did you take that? Recently or old data?

[strongmanmike]

Yeh 1300mm FL at 1.4"/pix on a 35mm+ frame is probably the all round perfect compromise in imaging really..?...just needs to be more aperture and faster ;)

I took this data last November so a year ago now...you said you really liked the full colour narrowband (http://www.pbase.com/strongmanmike2002/image/118982234/original)at the time, do you recall?

I hadn't posted just the Ha from that session but I did so a year earlier in 2008 ...The Tarantula..?.. maybe it is my Lagoon? :D :lol:

Cheers boys

John, oh yeh man have a go with the big 350 :thumbsup: How's that Helix coming along by the way?

I recon, especially in the negative version, it looks like a massive intricate spiders web, so given a Tarantula isn't known for its webs as such, perhaps it should be known as the Spider Web nebula when taken in its entirety? :)
