Stunning JJJ. Well done and thanks for a great time. It was a ton of fun catching up. Nice photo of my thermals.

A nice image and nice target. I don't think there are as many images of this one as of it's neighbors M16, M20 and M8 etc, but I think this is a beautiful nebula and it's also surprisingly bright visually in the eyepiece. Thanks for the view.

Impressive JJJ. Not raising the black point actually suits this image well. Provides a natural appearance. Don't recall seeing DSLR image of the Swan of this quality for sometime. Top work.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
I enjoyed working on this image. The whole region surrounding the neb is surprisingly bright. I could have stretched it more, but will wait till I have more data to add to it.

Very nice jjj. This image has come up a real treat. You have to be happy with this rendition.
You have managed a lot of the outer nebulosity beyond the main target ver well.

Great staff.

Very nice looking with the fine structure showing well and also not over processed :thumbsup:

[Paul Haese]

Of the two images my preference is the wider field of view. I think this works better than the crop. Well done.

Very nice photo Jeanette.

You are extracting so much detail with your equipment and processing.

Very impressive.


Thanks.

Wow JJJ, you're going from strength to strength. Would love to see you have your own website - your work is definitely deserving!

[jenchris]

I've got a shot of that, but it's only 48 minutes worth - you got some really incredible detail compared to mine.

Very classy image - lovely subtle colours.
Impressive+++

I'm just amazed at how sharp the image is yet subtle around the nebula. Brilliant!!
