NGC5139 From BSG

[Hagar (Doug)]

My final image from BSG this year.
A stack of 14 X 2 minute images. Again a shame about the dirty sensor but I am pretty impressed with what this scope can achieve.

Doug,

Great shot of the core - you've really captured the detail well!

Thanks Matt. I did something very unusual and captured this with auto debayering at capture in Nebulosity. This made processing unusual to say the least. Never again!

Thanks everyone for the great comments. I am looking forward to some nice skies and some longer exposures with this setup.

Thanks H, Always hard getting the final colour of Globs something like what we expect them to look like but then again who says any of us are correct anyway.

Well done, lots of detail down to that core and star shapes look good across the frame too. Nicely captured different star colours too boot. One of the better Omega images I've seen!

Thanks Dave, I find this scope and camera combination seem to work quite well together and seem to give very good colour reproduction making processing much easier when talking colour.
