Iris Nebula widefield - Last repro...

[Elio]

Hi guys
I tried to catch up the best from my Iris, now it takes a 3d effect, I think it's my best image
Taken from the dark site on Sibillini Mount (1600mt) on august, are 29 subs 720s@800iso with Taka BabyQ-Eos60Da_CDS-Avalon M-Uno mount, processed in Iris (the right software for this subject ) and refined with CS5.
Hope you like...thanks for visit and comments

HOLY SMOKES! That has to be the most 3 dimensional image I have ever seen!

BRILLIANT work. That dust cloud to the left literally seems to be in front of everything else.

Wonderful image!

[astronobob (Bob)]

I 2nd That LewisM ! Thats an awesome image Elio, you Have set the bar high for yourself now I wonder if there'll be matching software for your next Target ?
Dam nice image mate, well done

[LewisM]

The bar for DSLR images keeps getting raised around here

[naskies (Dave)]

Very impressive, Elio! It's as if I'm peering through a curtain of space dust. Your dark site must get pretty cold

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

What an incredible area that is, nicely revealed Elio It could be a little bit over smoothed but a lovely image of some complex dust clouds all the same

Viva la DSLR !!!

[tilbrook@rbe.ne (Justin Tilbrook)]

Amazing image Elio!!

What all the others have said!!

At 1600 mtrs above sea level, ideal conditions for AP.

Cheers,

Justin.

Nice one Elio! Don't often see such a wide field rendition of the Iris. Looks great. A notch too smooth for my liking as well and composition is a little confusing. This is no doubt a tough target for a DSLR so you've done exceptionally well to bring out the dusty surrounds. Look forward to seeing more.

[Peter Ward]

A spectacular result... I would not have picked this as a DSLR image as there are no spikes or artifacts.

Simply excellent.

[RobF (Rob)]

Very high quality work and an area we don't get to see from S hemisphere. Wonderful!

Thanks Cam, yes, epic it's right, the "battle" to bring out the dust was hard

The composition was made to keep dust clouds of Iris nebula as a cascade from the upper corner, the rest of darks companion are fallen into my "wide" focal lenght...sorry I disagrree for this, forgive me, you know how says ancient Latin? De gustibus not disputandum est
A great help for result is the short f ratio of my baby-fsq and the Avalon M-Uno mount: with this I took 27 perfect subs of 720", nearly six hours, I don't waste a second of the darkness of that night (for us it was summer...), not even the noise of meridian flip

Thanks Peter for the kind words, proud you mistake a dslr for a ccd
I don't like artificial spikes, on the lens are a hiding place... imho

See you soon

Hi Elio,
A great pic beautifully processed.
I think maybe it's a bit too smoothed -
I always like to keep a bit of noise in the pic but that's artistic license.
Those Baby Q's are great scopes.
You have professional looking results with a DSLR.

cheers
Allan

[Ross G]

A beautiful, wide photo Elio.

Excellent work!

Looks great in the small image, but the higher res version seems to have a broken link? May be its just me.
