N70

[Stevec35]

Hi to all

It's been ages since I've produced an image, basically because of bad weather and equipment problems. I managed to do this one last night of the N70 superbubble in the LMC. It was 4 1/2 hours with the 3nm Ha filter and I think would have benefited with a lot more but you take what you can get. Hopefully colour will follow when the moon goes away.

Cheers

Steve

Interesting Target details Steve, and wow, lots of potential for that Ha Result , looking forward to seeing it Pop if/when the colour is added , , But that is Quite a Mean image as it is ! !

Very interesting structure and detail, Steve. I'm also looking forward to a colour version.

Cheers,

Thanks Rick and Louie. Lets hope the weather cooperates for the colour.

Very nice image Steve.

IMO monochrome Ha images stand out without the need of colour.

Thanks Steven. Yes monochrome images can look good but I'm still going to do colour though if possible.

That's great Steve, plenty of wispy detail there, reminds me of a research print from the good'ol photographic plate days :thumbsup:

Probably better than most from back then too!

Thanks Mike. Yes - I noticed the resemblance to a photographic plate too.

Hi Steve

really like this and looking forward to the final version.

Don't dwell on your poor weather; I am coming home in 4 weeks and bringing the sunshine and clear skies with me :thumbsup:

A great photo Steve.

Amazing detail and a new object for me.

Thank you.

Ross.

[Stevec35]

Thanks Ross



Thanks Martin. I hope you are right about the weather.

Great image Steve. I've hunted this one mercilessly for visual observing, but it is just too faint for my scope even with dark skies. So it's great to see such a stunning photo.

[Stevec35]

Thanks Pat. It is a difficult object. I think I did glimpse it with a nebula filter once but it may have been averted imagination.

A very interesting object Steve and a great write up as well.

[Stevec35]

Thanks Ric. The write up isn't mine of course. I just copied it from somewhere on the web. It's not a well documented object unless you delve into the professional journals.
