M-27 with my ASA Astrograph

floastro · #1 31-08-2009, 11:10 AM

Hi guys,

On year ago, i began my M-27 project using my ASA Astrograph N12" f/3.62 OTA.

This summer, i finished my M-27 with RGB and OIII images and i combined them with the Ha taken one year ago.

I used my SBIG ST-10XME.

I am presenting you 3 versions of my M-27 : HaRGB, HaOIIIRGB and one HaRGB but with OIII an Ha frames combined with the RGB frames.

Images, full resolution crops are visible here :

Enjoy,

Florent

Thank you so much guys

for all your messages.

The big print of the HaRGB 3rd version is in my hands. It is impressive.

At the end of september, i will expose, here in my city, the big prints of my CCD images combined with my images of the West of the US : Between Sky & Earth.

This image of M-27 was a huge work.

Thanks once again.

Warmest Regards,

Florent

The central part of this nebula should be teal in colour, and you've correctly processed this to bring that out very nicely indeed.

well done.

Superb images, fantastic effort.

AlexN · #18 01-09-2009, 03:36 PM

Amazing work...

Each version is equally impressive for different reasons.. The No3 wide image and the No3 full crop are truly amazing...

Well done!

Exfso (Peter) · #19 01-09-2009, 05:10 PM

They are absolutely superb, well done.

G'day Floro

You do some nice work indeed my friend and this is no exception

I will refrain from once again lamenting the loss of "my" ASA N12

but it is with such projects as this that this type of scope shines

Well done and I hope the exhibition of your work is well received.

Mike
