Here's a little Ha panorama through southern Scorp I call, "Angles and Demons"

Thank you everyone. There is more work to do on this image. 8bit .jpg does not come close to the depth of the orignal nor the tonality.

This is 3 segmements done with the Proline 16803 and FSQ.
9 x 2400s each segment from Coonabarabran.

Great image John, with your tell-tale Ha processing.

One comment though:

Surely you mean 'Angels and Demons'?

cheers
Martin

Fantastic John.

That is the Dark Tower in the middle near the top right?

There is so much Ha stuff around its amazing.

I absolutly hate reposts of images, but I pulled the back point down a bit to get what I orignally wanted.

Yes Martin. I'm glad my imaging is better than my spelling. ;-)

Excellent John! love the contrast....wish I got to see the first post of this image,but I would suspect that you weren't satisfied with the contrast.

This version to me is well, near perfect.....wish you were doing color too.

Great deep widefield. Very extended area.

Greg, given some coords (see for example the notes on Don Goldman's image http://www.astrodonimaging.com/galle....cfm?imgID=227) the Dark Tower is close to the centre at the top. A plate solved image cropped to the relevant part attached.

Hi Andrew,

Which plate solve software did you use?

An amazing widefield photo John.

Incredible detail and contrasts.

I did it in 2 stages John. live.astrometry.net solved it quickly but doesn't give the same depth of object markings that Unimap does. I took the centre and FOV from astrometry.net and told Unimap to use that as a hint. Once it solved I saved the image with grid and objects labelled. Then GIMPed the image to a size I could upload to IIS.

Note: "live" is closed to new users, they have to use "nova" and I don't think it works as well.

Hi Andrew and thanks for this. I've been able to acess astrometry.net and run a plot on my RCW 114. Seems to work, but it missed one of the globulars in the image. I'll give Unimap a shot.
