Hi Doug,

Great discription, cosmic snot and awsome image!!

Don't think Iv'e seen NGC 2070 quite like that, but that's the best thing about this forum is all the different techniques used to produce these great images.

Cheers,

Justin.

Nice approach with the data and I like the result Doug, the original size looks really quite good at Photobucket

Looks pretty fluro Doug - very nice. Are you going to add some RGB?

[astronobob (Bob)]

Showing some great fine wisps in this Doug and dig the compo with the two seperate objects in the top corners ! !
Snot a bad shot at all

Very very good.

I read the gear and I was surprised it was an astro 40D. I am even more impressed, I assumed it was with a dedicated CCD. The 40D is a way cool camera.

Nice one Doug. All the best.

Exceptional image Doug, and when you take into account this was taken with a DSLR, its an exceptional image.


Also goes to prove that exposure count.

well done
Martin

I must confess I was bowled over as this came up on the screen Doug, let alone the full high res. Possibly your best image? How long have you been hiding that Tak in your arsenal? (and the 40D you have working wonderfully obviously)

More, More!!!

Got a hanky Doug to wipe of some of that green

Nice repro Doug. The core is nicely defined now. How much is the image cropped?

Not too much Craig - just enough to get rid of the stacking artefacts and the slight FOV differences between the Ha and OIII data sets.

Cheers, Marcus
