NGC2170 in Monoceros

[troypiggo (Troy)]

Lovely image. You weren't too far away from the area I've been working on in Monoceros. I like the colours and contrast of the dark dust lanes.

Ah... makes sense now. 800mm should do it nicely then with my 8" newt.

Very sweet image indeed Rick!




(stars are a bit big though. )

Thanks, Marcus! You should have seen the original stars The KAF-8300 microlenses combine with a short/fast scope seems to be a recipe for bloat.

Top job

Thanks, David.

corker image Rick. the colour is great and detail good - the composition is also a significant contributor to the overall effect. very nice work.

Superb Rick!

NGC 2170 is a faint bugger, nicely done on the colour too.

Cheers,

Justin.

Colours and dust simply...fantastic!

Agree, a very colourful part of sky there for sure. Great imaging & processing reminds me of Rho-ophiuchus a lot.
Top show & work as usual Rick

[RickS (Rick)]

Thanks, Fabiomax & Bob.

Thank you, Markus. It would be a good target for your Newt and new camera.

Thanks, Suavi.

I do intend to run another PI workshop up here this year. There are several people that missed the first intro workshop and it would be good to do a more advanced workshop too. I'll have to give some thought to the timing.

The big thing I learned from the workshop I gave at NACAA at Easter is that one day is really not long enough. Two days is more realistic for a detailed intro with lots of prac work. Ideally followed by another day of more advanced topics...

Great image with spectacular fine detail, Rick. I also had took a long look at those amazing images of yours on the 'Astrobin'site- fantastic work!

Cheers,
Richard

[RickS (Rick)]

Thanks very much, Richard.
