HH555 and Mountains
Hello,
This next image represents a two frame mosaic in a 6 filter image. I am a details and resolution junky so I threw everything I had at the data and am pretty excited about the results.
Using MSDLB with decon and different sharpening aspects I was able to resolve some nice details in the HH155 bi-polar jet. I sent the results to Bo Reipurth, a professional who has done allot of work in this area and he was impressed enough to send me his Ha and SII images taken with the 4 meter KPNO. I have included a crop of my image and of what Bo sent me with a link to his paper on it.

As always, thanks for taking the time to look . . .
Kindest Regards,

Ken...... SUBLIME !!!!
Exquisite detail resolved at the tip of the 'Elephants Trunk'.
Nice transition between RGB and the narrow band channels.
Seamless mosaic....
The emphasized contrast to the darker dust areas has the image standing out on the computer screen... Lovely!
Thanks for sharing with us your efforts.
All the best
Rich

Incredible image, and the level of detail is so deceptive until you get right in close. Fascinating to see the pics from the 4m too. Shows just how far modern astrophotography has come in recent years. Top stuff!

Amazing Ken. Unbelievably sharp and contrasty. Right at the very cutting edge of modern astrophotography.

Thanks everyone !!! The encouragement is always welcome!
I hard part with this image is how much contrast and detail to show as the area is shrouded in haze and with processing you can cut throught that. I tried to have a balance between showing the details and letting the haze do it's thing also. Hard choices as you can go either way . . .

Great shot. Very 3D like. It's interesting to see the double arrow at the tip of the jet. Fantastic resolution. Not often seen.

This is my favorite nebula with red mountains and a blue waterfall, such a high standard.
