M17..under a cloud

[Peter Ward]

Finally I have some time at home to do some imaging...rain, cloud, rain...
sigh...

Going stir crazy....Did a Sid....

Old data with a new twist. (RCOS14, PME, STL11k...about 60 mins LRGB)

Very dynamic Peter, and flourescent, excellent, just a tad noisy tho...

[multiweb (Marc)]

Very cool. The ridge is very well defined along with the striations next to the square hole. Top colors too.

[Peter Ward]

Thanks Fred, Marc.... Yep pushed the data quite a bit and should have smoothed the background as a result.

Maybe another re-pro??

Second thoughts.. no... a target for the STX in 2011

Mmmmmmm ... colour saturation! Nice one in every respect!

Cheers, Marcus

PS: No imaging here for months!!! I think I've forgotten how!

Thanks Marcus. Yep know the feeling.
Anyone want to buy a RCOS 14? Mint. Hardly used at all.

Send some rain our way I'd forego imaging for a few weeks of good solid rain my garden needs it

nice one Peter none the less

A lot more detail than I'm used to seeing in M17, but honestly, it's not as sharp as I've come to expect from your images.

Can't wait to see the revised images.

I haven't setup a scope in months... We're now getting fluffy clouds by day that destroy your spirit, only to occasionally clear late afternoon, for a couple of hours...

Thanks Greg.... BTW your recent CDK images have really stepped up a notch, some great stuff there.

I haven't done any imaging for about 5 months. Can't believe this (Sydney) weather. Lots of great gear, literally with spider webs on it

Red candy ice cream. Looks wonderful to me, Peter. Such awesome image scale!
