Tarantula narrowband and broadband 10 hours

[Paul Haese]

I took this data a couple of months ago and had trouble combining all the data together in a tone and colour that made me happy. I am still a little uncertain about how this image looks, but for now I think it might be something close to what I was trying to achieve.

This is definitely going straight to the pool room.

That's really nice Paul,
The Tarantula is perfect for the KAF-8300 -
10 minute subframes without burning out any star.
That's giving you so much more star colour too.
60 subframes - a lot of work - & I'd love to see the full size.
Well done.

Man that's just Terrible .

Somehow u managed to spray red stuff all over the screen and then somehow - I don't know how u did it but it seems that u put the Tarantula deep inside it, so it's like a 3-D'ish painting :)

Way to go ! :) Well done.

Now for the Rembrandt.

Swore when I opened the pic in amazement :)

Very nice.

Love it, Paul! I wasn't sure at first but it sure grew on me :)

The detail there is as good as any narrowband wide field Tarantula I've seen Paul. The only thing that bothers me is that it looks a bit cluttered. Perhaps think about fading the stars a bit?

Cheers

Steve

[jjjnettie]

It's a difficult field for sure, but you've well and truly nailed this one Paul. Congrats on a great image. :)

Great image Paul!

Just love the different perspective your filter combination puts on the Tarantula.

Cheers,

Justin.

Very nice Paul shame you couldn't resolve the central cluster as well

[multiweb]

Not sure about the colors but the details are sublime. :thumbsup:

A great photo Paul.

The detail is amazing.

[gregbradley]

Great details. A bit muddy looking to my eye. It'd be great if you could bring out more of the reds or the mustards. I love the blues.

Greg.

[icytailmark]

tons of detail there paul id be happy with that

[Paul Haese]

Hey thanks guys for all the comments.

Steve, funnily enough this has had several treatments to the stars to get them smaller. It could do with some more though. I will experiment.

Greg, I will see what I can do with the colours. When I get back from Cairns I will visit this again.

Great image Paul, I really like this area there is just so much going on. It is interesting how, with the 160,000 light year distance, it is at a completely different scale, with plenty of clusters and supergiants sprinkled everywhere in between the nebulae. And you've captured it all in beautiful detail, great job.

[stardust steve]

10 hours :eyepop:. Nice. Look at all the delicious nebula detail:thumbsup:

Paul, I love this image.

Thanks guys for the comments.

Rolf the distance makes for a different view for sure. I often marvel and wonder how bright this area must be when viewed from say M42's distance. It must be very bright.

Holy Toledo, that Tarantula is looking mighty Fine ! !
