Gday all


I managed to add another two hours before the bad weather and reprocessed a recent photo.

Steve,
Like the dramatic and rich color of this image. The Coca Cola tint is reminiscent of the JWST representation. Heaps of ionised hydrogen coming through and that Askar is a beauty- nice field of view at 500FL.
Well done - should be very happy with this one.

Hi Anthony
Glad you liked it. This colour is number four. Currently working on two with more with different pallets but I wont post them.

The Askar is quite sharp, sure does bring out some detail. I do have the reducer to try out but no luck with this weather...

Nice shot, Bodon. Plenty of sharp detail, and so many, many blobs of colour to look at.

Hi Steveo
Blobs are everywhere for sure. I processed one in SHO....gold everywhere and bright. Glad you liked the details.
Regards

Lovely result Steve. “Added two hours…”. I have a similar setup but wondering how much total exposure across the filters?
