Vela SNR in Hubble-esque palette

This is a version of part of The Vela Supernova remnant done in a new Hubble-esque palette, reprocessed from scratch.

Attached is only a small crop of an interesting bit

The Full Frame can be seen HERE

I particularly like the straight and rather deep Ha + OIII mono version myself see HERE

Hope it's interesting

Mike
Looks like Friday will see a new image...

As usual your images just blow me away, they have such depth you feel as if you can reach out and touch them.
Just love looking at them.

Hey thanks for looking guys, glad you liked it

I know it's another repro ...but it is different from the original and was reprocessed from early stages not just colour mixed. I did purposly process it quite light and bright as the area has almost infinite detail in the background and too much darkening or noise works risks affecting the visibilty of these bits, so as a consequence there is a liiiittle bit of noise left but hopefully not too objectionable

Thanks again.

Mike

Hey Mike, just wondering about the Hubble like pallet and how thats achieved. As I'm very new to astro image processing I'm trying to get a grasp on the terminology used and what it actually means physically.

I've been a serious photographer for a long time and process all my images from raw using Capture One Pro software, a very good, no even better an excellent raw converter so are you just controlling your RGB to give the pallet appearence and then luminance you want in your final stacked image or is there some other dark art here with these colours
Thanks for any info.

Hi Mike, this time have to say I am not totally impressed, sorry mate. Target is fantastic, color is ok (well, as you know I am not at all a fan of NB palettes) but I find the image quite noisy and not natural, a bit too overprocessed for the amount of data available. Don't take me wrong, IT IS a good image of the area, simply not up to those top-notch standards you get me used to

Marco

Nice colour, very striking image. Not sure about the saturation and the noise just needs more data. Grand image, potentially an absolute cracker.

Feeling wild lately Mike??

Pretty wild image but its a pretty wild part of the southern sky.

I like it. I did a very colourful version of it a while ago as well. Its got it all.

I feel like a giant alien beetle from "Starship Troopers" is after me on first impression. Very striking!

It's a very interesting area I've never really seen before until recently displayed here in IIS. This NB version is first class, well done Mike.

By the way, I think some people look too closely at images when they should stand back and enjoy.

Hi Ken

My approach is often similar to this, it's quite a simple approach too

I do a lot of blending with my images too, ie I make several variations and then blend them in different weights until I am happy

Mike
