NGC6188 and NGC6164

[Paul Haese]

This is a work in progress and it needs way more data including some RGB but for now it has some interest. To be honest I am surprised the level of detail given the limited amount of data.

Nicely framed and captured Paul and an amazing amount of detail for such a low imaging time.

[RickS]

Unusual composition too. Very nice...

[SkyViking]

That's looking very promising Paul, and especially with such short exposure. The colours are nice too. So do you intend to blend some RGB in also?

Paul, you say a work/job on the way, :shrug: well mate that is just awesome :thumbsup: the way it is. gee i wish i could do that sort of stuff, excellent work.

Leon :thumbsup:

I really like the framing on this. Nicely done.

[Paul Haese]

Thanks guys your comments are appreciated.



Yes I am going to blend some RGB once I get this data. First off I have to get all the narrow band then I will go for the colour or maybe next run I will get the colour while it is quite low.

[Peter.M]

I think the halo around the planetary may need longer exposures as you were suggesting at the time, The image is very nice though.

[Paul Haese]

Maybe just more time will take care of that problem, but with NB longer exposures are probably needed to overcome the back ground noise level. These are at 10 minutes for each sub. Something to consider of course.

I'd be very happy with that just as it is. What a great field with so much colour and interest everywhere. You really have a great setup and system working now when you can toss off something like this in a couple of hours.

[Paul Haese]

Thanks Graeme for you comments. I think repeatabilty of results is the main thing. Part of that is the mount and part of that is the optical system. Using an OAG has made a huge difference. I went from throwing out the odd sub to not having to through out any at all. So every sub now is used. The mount provides that night after night pointing accuracy and that means collecting more data all the time rather than finding the same spot I was on last time.

[multiweb]

That turned out very nice. Great colours and details. :thumbsup: How did you get the bi-polar nebula so red? Did you blend in RGB data? It's stongest in Ha although the outer shells are Oiii.

[Paul Haese]

Hi Marc I reblended the Ha data back into that spot to bring out the colour.

[Stevec35]

Great stuff Paul. I too am surprised at how good it is given the length of exposure. The colour is great and it's a very effective composition.

Cheers

That's a wonderful shot Paul. Terrific framing getting that wonderful neb and shock wave.

My only comment would be to get rid of the green and turn into the nice mustard colours using Photoshop.

Narrowband really suits this object.

Once I get my autoguider back from repair its definitely on the list of to do's.

Greg.

[Paul Haese]

Thanks guys.

Greg when I get more data and finalize the image I will certainly lean towards the browns. Not enough data at present to work it too hard.:)

[Jeffkop]

Wow!!! ... How appealing is that and whats more .. Unique .. Ive never seen any images of this .. If i have they definately arent as memorible as this .. Ivenver noticed so many NB images before .. Awesome Paul

[Paul Haese]

Thanks Jeff. I urge you to check out John Hotheralls image of NGC6164. Very nice image that one and part of the reason for me wanting to pursue this object. Chris Venters recent image of NGC6188 is superb too. Thanks all the same. I always appreciate peoples opinions.

[Rigel003]

I personally like the green tones in Hubble palette images. I'd vote for keeping it as it is. Mustard is so mustardy. Don't want the drama of the deep sky lost in a sea of beige.

[Ross G]

This is going to be a great photo Paul.

Well composed and already you have amazing detail.

Ross.

[Paul Haese]

Thanks guys. I will keep those thoughts in mind Graeme.

[strongmanmike]

Looking good so far Paul, looks like you need a bigger chip ;)...6164 often gets forgotten when imaging 6188 on small chips so good that you were able to sneek it in :thumbsup: This area was good to me last year :D

Mike

[Paul Haese]

Oh no not another sensor. While eventually this will become a reality I think for now it is mosaics or just sneaking in. ;)

Your view of this object was part of my reason for imaging it myself. More data though. It might take some time as I have three projects on the go now and still waiting on a fitting for collimation for the RC which has its own project going.
