A Sid on the Trant
Given the lack of imaging time lately, I thought id add a bit of "vibrancy" to an old washed out image I took in the good 'ol days of decent apature
.
Its one of the few I actually got stars about right
.
Here , on the ol trusty G11 12' Meade ACF combo.

Wow that tarantula has some nice depth in it, and yes the stars look right.
Love the swirling gas clouds

Thanks Martin, Rolf. I lost some deep neb in the Sid, but its a difficult one to avoid messiness generally, backing off sometimes on lum curves renders more asthetic effect.

Sorry about that Fred.
I absolutely love finding deep red stars and Carbon Stars
Don't tell me I chose a hot pixel

Thanks Guys. Nice of you not to point out the nasty processing artifacts
, I have to stop doing that.
Yes, the stars dominate, but I dont mind, nice change. And those red ones arnt hot pixels, as far as I can tell
.
Interesting pointing them out, hadnt thought of them being carbon stars.

Now that is busy Fred. Nice detail and star size. Colour may be a bit bright for me but the overall punch of the image is great.

Striking image Fred. I like how you've done it overall and I like the colour. Looks to me like it could take a bit more selective sharpening though??
