Hi Rolf,

Another fascinating journey and superb images!

The NIR image is amazing with the young stars coming through. I looked at both large images on your site, wonderful. I found it was better to bring up both smaller images posted and blink them, it made it easier to appreciate your work.

Cheers,

Justin.

Thank you Justin, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm planning another video at some stage, perhaps when i have some more nebulae imaged this way I will do one 'grand NIR tour'

Really cool when you click back and forth between the NIR and optical images

Thanks very much Narayan Yes blinking between them really shows the differences!

Thank you Marc Yes this one really has a lot of stars around the perimeter but less so in the centre. I find that every nebula I try this on come out with some surprises, they are all very different.

Thanks very much Mike, I'm glad you like this NIR stuff. Is there an empty slot in your filter wheel?

Thanks Peter, glad you liked it. NIR really puts a new perspective on these classic targets.
