I'd like to see a "closer view" though of the centre - it looks just as interesting in itself.

Thanks for that. I'll do a crop, yes I agree there is some great detail in there from the CDK17 data.

A nice compliment - thank you. The shockwave is amazing. It reminds me of Vela.

In the end I chose a slightly less blue colour palette but I think you are reasonably close to what comes out of the camera.
Your detail levels are not bad either, though I suspect you are hampered by the lowest resolution setup. I reckon it would be preferable to image with the CDK for get maximum resolution at your dark sky location. Its a wonderful object up close and worth putting in the hours at a higher resolution.
Still some noise drifting around, but I found I had to do a lot of hours before it started to diminish. I am betting most of the noise is from the OIII as I found it very noisy.
Overall I like the look of the image, but would like to see you get a lot more data yet.  |
Thanks Paul. More is always good for sure. I agree the CDK could do an even nicer version. I may just do that as its in a good position at the moment.
Now its all fully setup and tuned its ready for business. It was not quite ready when I took the Ha but because the object was really in the centre of the image the corners didn't matter.
Greg.
