[Octane (Humayun)]

Andrew,

I'm quite pleased with it, despite Jupiter being in frame.

Cheers!

Ken,

You're right, mate; it's got lots of stuff happening! Globs, dark, reflection, emission nebulae, and a planet to boot!

Thank you, sir, for the kind words.

It's got a bit of everything in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul,

LOL! I did take quite a lot of time in Photoshop getting things just the way I wanted them to be. No doubt, it pales into comparison with the work others have put out using CCD's, such as Loke Tan, but, I'm a novice!

Thanks!

Ric,

I am quite proud of it. It's such a pity that Jupiter is in the frame. Still, it's not as annoying as I thought it may end up being.

Thanks, mate!

I love that starburst in the top right, it looks like a star gone supernova and the dark dust areas look like they have been airbrushed in.

Very spectacular

Jase,

Thank you for the critique, as per the norm.

I paid a lot of attention to the histogram. Some clipping was unavoidable, but, I did my best with the data I did capture. Once again, pin-point stars. It's a testament to how wonderful the EM-200 is.

And, wow, thank you for that humbling compliment!

With exception to the huge flare from the object top right, this would have to be the one of the best DSLR images I've seen of the region. Well done.

David,

Thanks, mate!

As for the Malin's, we'll see! There's lots of brilliant imagers on here. I've got to try harder!
