Wings of the Eagle - AG12

Yay! not a repro

Managed a single clear night on Monday night (boss let me have the next day off so I could sleep)

This is a Hubble Palette inspired rendition that I hope you like. It is a little different as I had in mind an ice cold slightly gloomy detailed 3D'sh look ...I have sat on it for a couple of days fiddling here and there and seem to have grown fond of it now

As usual the seeing didn't cooperate (hopefully this scenario will improve in Canberra)

It's only 4.5hrs (started late and shed roof cut me short) of combined exposure but I think it has gone quite deep still.

Full 1.8deg X 1.8deg Frame at 50% to pan around:

Wings of the Eagle

For those on slow conections try this smaller file crop of just the Mother and her baby

The Eagle and her Eaglet

And even though the seeing didn't do me any favours...here are the GOOD BITS at 100% res

Hope I can get out again soon, it was a great clear night in Newie collecting this data ...except when the garage shed roof started to loom large as I was sinking into the west and madly trying to get the minscule amount of colour data I managed (RGB = 6 6 6min) before I was cut off...memories of Nyngan, in reverse....
