Hi everyone,
First crack at the Christmas Tree Cluster and The Cone Nebula. Taken from a dark sky at Kilmore in rural Victoria, this is 20x10 mins with the SBIG OSC.
Darn tricky object to process too, with what appears to be both reflection and emission nebulas close to one another. Took forever to get the colour and contrast balance somewhere near right.
I suspect some Ha would really help this image, so in the absence of a mono camera, maybe I'll get myself a Ha filter and have a play anyway!
One again thanks for looking and your feedback and comments are always encouraged and most welcome.
Cheers
Andy
