Tarantula

Hi All!
I'm sure you all be saying not another Tarantula!!...

I haven't had the chance to image for so long...so I picked an easy target to shoot from my backyard. So here is my 1st attempt for the year.

Cheers

Dave

Dave,

Nice image Dave - I'm so tempted to have another go at the Tarantula myself. .must.resist.the.urge.

And you blog looks terrific too. Well done. I must have a go at the QHY9 Shutter Silencer

I'll be honest Dave, I almost didn't bother opening your post when I saw the title ...heck I am glad I did though

This looks great, I love the shiny looking golden stars. The image has the slightly fuzzy RGB look so characteristic of this nebula but in kind of the Hubble Pallet

Very Cool

Mike

Very nice image Dave, a target which looks so different on each and every image. The colours all be they NB colours are quite subtle and well applied.

Well done.
