Here's the result of the collaboration between the HST and the amateurs..

Well, here's the HST effort anyway.

Just incredible :eyepop:

Here's an example of a couple of the images.. we amateurs still have a bit of catching up to do to be as good as hubble :jawdrop:

Puts to rest all those that think the 'Hubble' is past it's due date.

Wow, both great images but that second one really does it for me. I can see the clouds as clouds and not as an imaginary solid surface, with the light coming through making them translucent

Interesting colour in the one on the right, either we are getting our colour wrong or the Earth atmosphere alters what we see quite a bit. The close up looks more believeable for colouring.

Thanks for posting them Mike. :thumbsup:

The colour is pruposely enhanced to be like that (I believe). They say contrast enhanced.. I don't believe the colour is truly like that.
