Hi guys,

Waiting the next New Moon to finish my NGC6960 image, i just updated my M-27 page with the zoomify window and 2 OIIIRGB versions.

This image has been taken with my ASA Astrograph 12" f/3.62 with 18h50min. of luminance. I had created a luminance using one H-Alpha luminance and one OIII luminance combined at 50% under PhotoShop.

Information and images here : http://www.poigetdigitalpics.com/m27AOcolorgal.html

Warmest Regards,

Florent :)

Thank you Marc :)

If you did not see the Zoomify window, the link was not good when you click on the small picture. I just updated with the correct link. All is good now !

Thanks once again.

Florent ;)

As the saying goes, "There's no replacement for displacement!"

Very nice detail.

Brilliant shot, Florent:)

The detail is amazing, especially in the outer gas shells.

That's a superb image. It sets a standard, I think.

Wow that's without a doubt the best M27 image I have seen. :eyepop:
I used to look at this one often when I lived in the northern hemisphere. It's nice to see it so beautifully presented! Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you once again ;)

And now with my LaCie graphic art monitor, the processing is very well adjusted. A real pleasure.

Warmest Regards,

Thank you Greg :thumbsup:

You've got an impressive material. How is your 17" telescope ?

Warmest Regards,

Yeh, this a beauty Florent, some amazing extensions there :thumbsup:..looking at your comparison images, it's amazing how the standard has lifted over the years, an image of M27 these days that doesn't show the faint outer extensions is only a mediocre image :)

I look forward to going long and deep with my AG12 too...this shot has certainly wet my appetite, thankyou.

Overall I like it. Its taken a while like any new piece of gear to get to know it and what its best capabilities are and how to make it sing.

Thank you very much Mike :thumbsup:

You bought one AG12 ? That is the brother of the ASA 12". How is it ? If you take M27, i would be very interested by the result. Keep me posted.

I know you've had a bad experience with your old ASA Astrograph, what a pity !

Do you use the CATSEYE tool to collimate your AG12 ?

Thanks once again.

Warmest Regards,

Florent :)
