Gum 85 - Nested Egg Nebula

[RobF (Rob)]

Wonderful Jason - I've been interested in this area ever since seeing it on widefield work in Ha by Marc and others. Wonderfull to see such a detailed rendition.

I'm off now to read up on PI more - I'm sure I'm missing out on important functionality until I master the HDR WTF function
(actually that's what I say sometimes after trying HDR on insufficient data )

Amazing colour and detail Jase.

Like you I have a straw on top of my huge red robot. Robotic is what I bought it for too, that an the encoders.http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/....es/happy19.gif

Cheers Paul! Indeed, its an interesting area. I really enjoy processing such images where the Ha data progressively strengths through the golden star cloud hue. Nothing wrong with a straw on top of a huge red robot.

Yes, Clive. I did run it as an automated setup for a while, but its beyond this now. I would refer it as being an autonomous setup. Autonomous being that the setup thinks for itself and has its own conditional logic on what to do and when. It has taken considerable time, tuning and software expense to make it happen, but it has been what I've wanted to achieve for sometime in order to increase the efficiency of data acquisition.

Thanks Rob! I think wide field versions really suit the target. Would have been good to also get M16 in as well, but I wasn't all that interested in another mosaic. Reasonably stretched data works best with the HDR WaveletTransform tool. I remember starting off with PI and trying to working on non stretched data and as you say...yelled out HDR WTF. I thought the tool was lousy, but its really growing on me. The ability to single out different scales is powerful.

Thanks Ross. Am pleased you enjoyed it.

Very nicely done. Such a dense starfield. The shades of red from deep red to pink and the dust lanes are not unlike the outer part of NGC3372. Same kind of structures. Top work again.
