The Potter's Clay

I have seen many beautiful images of IC 2220 but I always wondered if I could pick up the faint dust from whence it is made. Here is a completely different view of the Toby Jug Nebula with the surrounding "clay" or dust. Warning, this image has bee significantly stretched to bring out the faint dust.

Great shot Tom! You can clearly see the smoke from the hot java in that jug

Outstanding!

Couple of side-on faint fuzzies around in that shot too. Big one bottom left.

Superb work Tom.

Another TD masterpiece but only 8 hrs you are slacking off

Brilliant shot, faint dust and galaxies. Really superb

Lovely image Tom. I like the faint dust.

It's due to those darn clouds, Trevor. I likely would have gone longer but clear skies seem to be a premium!

Beautiful shot, as usual, Tom.

Octane (Humayun) · #13 13-05-2010, 05:24 PM

Not working for me, either. :cryface:

Yes your site is down Tom.

I can't get to your site either and I would love to see your shot

This is strange. It seems that about half of the people can see the image but the other half can't. I can, no matter what computer I use to activate the link. Oh well, sorry. Hopefully it will work again for everyone.

Here, try this: Click on this link. It should take you to Nebulae page 8. Then click on the IC 2220 thunbnail image.

If that doesn't work then try www.tvdavisastropics.com and navigate to Nebulae page 8. Then click the IC2220 thumbnail.

Hi Tom
Just tried all the links you gave and get an error:
Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at www.tvdavisastropics.com.

Really wierd. It works fine for me in Firefox. I even remoted into my pc in Oz and went through Firefox. It brings the link up fine.

I don't know. I'm not an IT person so I am stumped. Sorry.

Here's a thought. Can some of you try IE to open my home page. My Oz pc opens the home page fine too. Maybe it's a sometimes dead link in one browser but not another??????

Both those links worked for me now. It may have been a temporary failure for just your site.

Great image. An unusual object nicely framed and composed.

Greg.
