NGC6164 now with RGB

[nandopg]

Hi Paul,
Stunning image, with lots of details to go through. The outer halo showed up very well and the gaz and dusty around, with the outer halo gave a nice feeling of 3D. Actually the mix of the bicolor image with RGB makes the resulting image smoother, in addition to bring out some more details.
This is an impressive image.

Thanks Fernando, I really like what the RGB did to the image too. This is one of my favourite images at present.

I like the details in the high-res. Really good stuff. Nailed it.

outershell is super super faint ... i think you really need an Oiii filter or nebula filter to make it work, so if you have one lying around that can be used definitely use it.

here is a dslr comparo

Thanks Russ!

Thanks for the comparisons too.

Gives me something to aim for.

Cheers,

Justin.

Thanks Marc, I think with better guiding I would perhaps eek out a bit more detail but probably not much more.

Pretty smick Paul, excellent. The hrs and colour are worth the effort.

Ho ho, this IS beautiful!
And even more than that - it's not OVER done as freuquently is the case with this object...
I had it take part in an image I shot 2 years ago from the Kalahari - it was wide field though. Perhaps you like to take a look:

Thanks Fred. I had expected to collect a lot more OIII and perhaps I should have to bring out more of the OIII bubble.

Thanks Harel, I agree it is a tough object to delicately extract the detail and remain natural looking.

Your image is a very nice shot of the region. I have always liked images of both 6188 and 6164 together in the same frame. There seems to be a nice symmetry between the two objects especially in that framing.

Great image of a difficult target. The outer bubble is showing up nicely.

Thanks Peter, yes it can be a bit difficult. Deep subs in the way in NB though on this target.

The hi res version is so smoooooth. The detail and background are just spectacular.

Thanks Doug, integration time makes all the difference for smooth finishes to backgrounds. I think the detailing in the nebulosity is probably one of the best results I have achieved with this scope. It's not as good as using a 20" but its pretty good for a cheap set of optics.
