Colourful NGC1365

Stevec35 (Steve) · #1 27-10-2013, 03:04 PM

This started out as a test image as I continue to troubleshoot hardware and software problems. It seems in this game that as soon as you fix one thing something else goes wrong. I suppose it's not a bad NGC1365 but should have been a lot better. I cranked up the colour a bit.

Cheers

Steve

Looks great to me Steve!

A beautiful photo Steve.

Great composition and detail.

I love the strong, rich colours.

Not bad for a test shot.

Ross.

A bit bright for me, though I'm pretty sure others have said the same of some of my images

Nice details, Steve!

Very nice.

A little too saturated colours to my taste but not sure if it's my laptop screen.

Really good amount of detail in that one Steve. Not sure about the colours, but that's the beautiful thing about this hobby. Personal preference comes into every image we take, and we get to make our own images, our own. So good job.

Agree with Marc, but still a cracker image.

Thanks Ross. I've actually toned down the colours a bit now.

Thanks Marc. I've now toned the colours down a bit. I did overdo them.

Yeah rather vivid but I can handle that...it is NGC 1365 after all

Nice pic Steve

If you look carefully you can see the very faint remains of Supernova
SN2012fr. or it is a star close to the position of the supernova

Nice! You shot it from the Canberran burbs? Good job!

gregbradley · #14 28-10-2013, 07:43 AM

Good image Steve. Quite a bit of detail.

Greg.

Thanks. Yes from my backyard with the usual light pollution and poor seeing.

Thanks Ron. I had forgotten about that supernova.

Thanks Mike. Sometimes I do pour on the colour a bit too much but I felt this image could take it and I was bought up in the Gabany school after all.

great image Steve - so much fine detail.

tilbrook@rbe.ne (Justin Tilbrook) · #18 28-10-2013, 09:27 PM

Quite like it Steve!

Personally I like more vivid colours, especially in galaxies.
Just makes it pop.

Cheers,

Justin.

Purdy rendition Steve, great details and dig the size scale, check the double nuclie, awesome ! !

Thanks Justin. Colour can be overdone but up to a point I agree that it does improve the pop factor.

Thanks Bob. NGC1365 is certainly one of the southern highlights IMHO.
