M22 and millions of Milky Way stars

[Bassnut (Fred)]

FAR too many stars Mike (I counted 435672.5 ((a few are cut at the borders)))........ plus M22 .

Its an increadible image, top work, specially the big one, but id really like to see this one processed starless, nice and clean .

Skillfully done

Very pretty Mike - rich star colours. Definitely one of the nicer glob images I've seen!

Cheers, Marcus

Hey Mike,

That is truly a stunning image of M22.

I cant count all the stars visible but it is about roughly the same amount of brain cells I destroyed when I turned 21.

[StephenM (Stephen)]

That's a spectacular image Mike! It puts things in perspective doesn't it! Great job.

Cheers,
Stephen

Great image too many pesky background stars though, Fred can tell you how to get rid of them.
Clear skies Ken

VERY impressive. You know whats just as impressive as the whole image? The fact that the tiny stars near the corners look EXACTLY the same as those near the centre, that is no coma or any other distortions.

Yes the 6" Starfire with it's 4" FF has a massive corrected image circle much larger than the puny 35mm frame CCD chip in my camera, it was designed to correct for 6cm X 7cm film! I would love a 36mm square chip like the Kodak 16803 at some stage, of course then I will need 50mm square filters and a bigger filterwheel too
