:eyepop: Another corker!. You're on a roll. :thumbsup:
I don't know if you meant it but I thought I'd bring that to your attention from your other thread on Rho. You're not that far out! :)

[jjjnettie]

Yes, the thought did pass my mind about a mosaic. I might make that my project for astrofest this year.
Having both pics side by side like that. You can definitely see the superiority of the Tamron over the Nifty 50.

[ozstronomer]

Lovely shot JJJ, that lens seems to be performing well, great FOV

Colours are great... oh for a dark sky!

Bring on Astrofest :D

[troypiggo]

[stanlite]

i think we have found a niche for the 500D jjj ;)

[Jeffkop]

Cant but agree with all the positive comments jjj ... GREAT image !!!!

[jjjnettie]

Thanks everyone.
Wide field certainly does seem to suit the 550d.

[Ross G]

Great colours and so much detail.

Very sharp.

Do you use In Camaera Noise Reduction?


Ross.

[mswhin63]

Nice shot lovely colour :thumbsup:

[RobF]

What a stunner! :eyepop:

[jjjnettie]

No ICNR. Just a little smoothing using the Carboni Actions.
Oh, and darks and flats.

[DavidU]

Oh ! very good indeed. Sharp as,depth, it's all there.:thumbsup:

[Hagar]

Still looks lovely to me JJ. Another ripper widefield. That camera seems to be producing the goods for you. Doesn't look too noisy.

[richardo]

Colours are beudiful!
You're doing some stunning wide fields in this area!

You've done some fantastic work in the last week, Jeanette.

[jjjnettie]

I feel honoured, IOTW, thanks. Mike :)
I've been very happy with what I've accomplished too.
I can't remember the last time we had clear skies over new moon. And with more predicted for the rest of the week, I'm going to be more than tired by the end of it. :lol:

Excellent image JJJ, the colour is wonderfully natural.

Congratulations on your IOTW, a very deserving image.

Cheers

[Stigandi]

Great shot. Reminds me of some of the views from dark skies here in WA.

[[1ponders]]

I've just been re-enjoying your shot jj. You really have composed it well, Cat's Paw to Omega and all the M&Ms through the center. And your processing and colour balance looks almost 3D

[RobF]

Woo Hooo!!! :thumbsup: :party2: :party:

[desler]

Congratulations JJJ, A ripper of an image. The Tamron and 550D seem to work together very well.

Darren

[rcheshire]

Looking forward to the mosaic.

[Stu Ward]

Jjj superb image

What was your 550d mounted on ?

I would love to get into widefield

Thanks
Stu

[jjjnettie]

Stu, it was mounted on top of my ED80 which was riding on the HEQ5Pro.
Wide field is so stress free. It's a real pleasure to do.

[danielsun]

WOW JJJ I'm a bit late on the scene and havent been on lately because Telstra the incompetent fools that they are have once again left me with no Internet for the past week, but that's a stunner in every way!! Crisp and colorful with all the detail. If I were you I would be blowing that up as large as possible and hanging that on the wall!
A well deserved IOTW :thumbsup:

Cheers Daniel.

[stevejack]

Late to this also, but great pic!
