Couple from my Astrofest bag - Corona Australis and M33

[troypiggo]

Only being at Astrofest 3 nights, and with the undesirable combination of cloud, fog, and some light reflections ruining several hours' worth of data, I didn't come away with as many keepers as I'd hoped. Here are the first 2 I've processed.

M33 Triangulum Galaxy, Lum only as clouds prevented the RGB being completed. Still, quite happy with the result. 1600px version here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/troypiggo/7818755558/sizes/h/in/photostream/)

NGC6726 Corona Australis. Beautiful region, always wanted to capture it. Odd crop is due to light reflections bottom left. 1600px version here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/troypiggo/7818794766/sizes/h/in/photostream/)

Very nice. Shame about the crop due to reflections though. I think you'd still be better off getting a better aspect ratio by cropping a bit off the left side. Its a good image.

Lovely work Troy. I like the Corona Australis shot.

i still reckon the rainbow (where the unicorns come from) made it a unique shot :P

Nice work, Troy!

Cheers,

The Corona shot's a keeper Troy! Nice work.

Are you getting some colour on M33? Should be a ripper if you do.

Cheers, Marcus

Thanks guys. The CrA data looked great to me, so was bitterly disappointed it was ruined in the corner. If I'm so inclined, I'll post the rainbow version for you Josh :)

Marcus - thanks. Don't think I'll get to add colour in the near future. Pretty low target as you know, and can't even see it from my horizon at home. Was looking forward and hoping the clouds would be kind on the nights after I got the lum, but it wasn't to be.

The Corona Australis shot looks lovely on my screen Troy.

Well done.

Nice going Troy!

Your Corona Australis is great, colour balance looks spot on!

Cheers,

Justin.

M33 is a cracker of an image. You've processed it beautifully too. Detail all the way to the core.
Corona Australis is nice too. I love that tiny loop near the reflections. The little glob though is burnt out, but that's easily fixed if you do a repro. :)

I like your M33 - lots of fine detail & you can add the colour another time.

Two great looking photos Troy.


M33 is my favourite...great detail.

nice whispy reflection neb in the C.A there Troy:thumbsup: Looking forward to the colour in M33! Nice lum:)

[ozstronomer]

Two nice images mate, Corona Australis looks impressive. M33 should come up nicely with some RGB

[h0ughy]

done well Troy - did you get one of the tissue neb and the green afterglow?

[troypiggo]

Thanks guys. Pretty happy with these.

Houghy - I think the "Code Green" shots were all Nettie's :)

+1 on my side, in particular m33 is not easy down under
