Veil Nebula - 2 Panel Mosaic

Martin Pugh · #1 16-08-2009, 02:49 PM

Hi all
so here is my second image from Beaver Lake here in damp Nebraska.
I think the FSQ/STL11K combo would have got this in one frame, but my FSQ is fixed, so no rotation, hence the mosaic.

Have processed this several times since it is a tri-colour image from Ha and OIII data. I think I am happy with this version, but would appreciate feedback.

25.5 hours in all.

I will post a full size version later, so this is 75pct in size,thanks for
looking as always.

very nice, 22plus hours will do that to an image,

if as you have , put up a reasonably large image could you give an indication of its size prior to posting it (4.34 meg)

cheers clive

Not too keen on the colors but the field framing and details are great

Martin Pugh · #12 17-08-2009, 06:05 AM

Thanks very much everybody.

Sorry Clive...I keep forgetting to do that, but I also thought that everyone was connected to the Internet at super-high speeds. I should know better as I only had 128k in Yass.

cheers

Martin, I always enjoy your work and this is no exception.
What a wonderful vista, so much hidden detail throughout the region which you've brought out beautifully.

Actually I was imaging Veil West just a few nights ago, it's an amazing region.

Thanks for sharing your work.

A stunning image Martin. You caught a lot of background red emission nebula I haven't seen before in Veil shots. Your shot is very very deep.

Greg.

Thanks again gents.

I was not sure about the result with it being a tri-colour image from Ha/OIII, and was looking for the feedback either way. So I am glad you like it.

cheers
Martin
