M27 Repro

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

I've been playing around with my last M27 tonight. This is a crop. For a bit of fun I added some diffraction spikes. (I miss my newt)

Too much moon Dave.
Going stir crazy.
Repro crazy.

Nice M27 JJJ. Not sure about the spikes, they tend to detract and shift focus from the Nebula.

I agree with Hagar - something along the lines of "Little Red Riding Hood".

Otherwise the nebula is good.

Well, the spikes might look good for a Christmas card

Very nice image Jeanette. A bit of a change from the
widefield setup. Its good for a bit of variety.

I great image there JJJ - nicely done . Not too sure about the spikes ... I think I'd like them better if they were at an angle.

Cheers, Marcus

Great details in the neb but the spikes are a bit overwhelming IMO. That reminds me of a shot I did of the pleiades on a newt. I used 10min subs to try to get as much neb as I could and not have to shoot many of them. It backfired on me. The shot looked like a Xmas tree.

LOLOL
Reckon I know what picture I'm putting on the front of my xmas cards this year.
