Hi All,
I'm hoping I'll have a chance to get more frames including darks to better process this one next weekend but thought the current version was still not too ugly so posting it now and will hopefully be able to improve with more frames soon.

larger files than the 200 limit so here you are:

that will take you to the crop version

The full frame version (minus a couple of mm at left edge and top):

As I said, can be improved but such an improvement already to my old version of this target that i removed the old one from the web site !

hope you like despite the visible noise

Not keen on crops when they lose resolution like that, but Frank, I love the full-frame mate! Beautiful colours.

Cheers,

Baz.

Lovely ! Great colours and I love those stars.

Know what Baz is saying but the crop still works for me.

Great looking image actually, I like it. This is an amazing looking planetary.

I like them both Frank, The crop certainly shows off the detail in the nebula nicely. I just ran the full frame through CCDStack deconvolution with 20 iterations and it seemed to just tighten up the stars a bit.

You sure like going after those hard targets, man.

That's beautiful. I am enjoying the star colour variations throughout, immensely.

I think you've got the sky just about spot on, too. : )

Catch up soon!

Thanks Everyone
much appreciated

I think the real problem is that its a bit on the "soft side".
I need a few more Lum to perform a bit more sharpening or deconvolution.

I'll get there eventually

hopefully will have clear skies this weekend

Well captured Frank, its an unusual planetary in many ways.

All the best.

[spearo (Frank)]

Thanks for the feedback
I've sharpened up the crop a bit
thanks again

Hi FranK:
I could not open the image crop. But I have seen the version full. It seems to me very well considering the difficulty degree that has this type of objects.
Many greetings

Nice detailled shot. Beautiful colors. Love that field. Gee, gotta get my C11 up to speed.

[jase (Jason)]

Pleased to see the STL is working its wonders Frank! This and a couple of other recent posts would indicate your on the right path to glory. Pleasing star colour on display. Keep them coming!

It is simply a superb image.
Thanks for sharing. Permission to use as desktop?
Thanks
PeterM.

The full image looks great Frank !! I couldn't open the crop either though - you must have lost the link when you sharpened it?

Hi
I just checked it should be there...
might need to hit "refresh" as I dont think that the command is built into to webpage.

I'm personally not 100% happy with the crop. I've had a few goess at redoing it entirely including with some better deconvolution but havent finalised yet. I was secretly hoping for more lights from this weekend....
Should have known better...
Oh well, there's always boomerang construction for those rainy days !
