Due to popular demand Ive now backed off the blue channel...

But decided nada on dropping the resolution and depth.

Details; STL11000xm, PME, RCOS 14.25 F9 and about 8 hours of data.

P.S. You might have to reload the link/page to get the current version.

Nice image. Nearly like Erics (ezystyles).
If it was a year ago, what gear did you use? (scope/camera etc)

Well done Peter for the Image of the Week.

Obviously the thread on colour balance didn't harm your chances.

Bugger the colour, that is a ripper of a shot Peter, what I would do to get something like that.

yep that looks great. Any more detail and we will have to start assigning names to those pink hydrogen regions

Indeed a lovely image Peter. Well done. You've applied the general rule of thumb in both images - If you don't have a neutral background (due to sky glow/pollution), make sure the shift is in the blue. Look forward to seeing more.

Thank you for the opportunity to say how impressed I have been by the content on iceinspace. For a relative newcomer to the somewhat obsessive and wallet emptying hobby of astronomy it is helpful to know that I am not the only semi crazy out there. It is encouraging to see people willing to ask questions and the readiness of people with knowledge to respond. I recently acquired a HEQ6 pro mount which I took up to Giraween National Park last weekend with my ED80 and had two nights of excellent albeit a bit chilly seeing. We have had nothing but cloud in Brisbane for it seems the last three months.

regards to all
