Ta, Steve. I'm sharing a scope at Sierra Remote Obs in California with 6 other folks.

Thanks, Rob. My wife calls the narrowband images "Jesus pictures" because they apparently remind her of the Sistine Chapel ceiling

Thanks, Simon. Drizzle did a great job of upsampling. I suppose that 1 arcsec seeing helps too

Thanks, Kevin. I moved a fair way from the colours of the original SHO combine.

Thanks, John. The extra resolution is great. The only thing I don't like is the star bloat that I suspect comes from a combination of the microlenses and shallow well depth.

Thanks, Mike

Ta, Marc. I cheated a little and used a scope in the Northern hemisphere.

Excellent Rick!!! Those colours are gorgeous and well worth the effort you put in! Beautiful image!

Cheers, Marcus

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Always kinda strange seeing northern objects posted in here especially when taken by southern hemisphere dwellers..it's like there is something not quite right about it

Nah, really great result mate and like others have commented, the colours look good too, must be so cool having access to the northern sky?

It seems a bit like cheating Mike, but I like it

It's very cool, Marc. I sit here at work and just about every afternoon new data starts magically appearing on my disk

Now you're just showing off.... CC some our way we've got big mailboxes Very cool stuff though. I was checking the seeing graphs. Sick.

[graham.hobart (Graham stevens)]

Amazing really.
The detail is 3D , remarkable.
What next for the " amateurs " ?
Rick, I love your work and I admire that you are kind to us scrabbling up that hill like Sisyphus, not all the "greats" are so amenable to advice.
You should count yourself Sir Rick- of the dark sky .
Cheers
Graham

[ozstronomer (Geoff)]

Beautiful Image Rick, I like the way you have reduced the stars enough to really show the nebula.

Well Done

Thanks, Graham, but I think you're being too generous. By virtue of my background and training I have some good technical chops but my sense of aesthetics still has a long way to go Access to good data helps a lot, of course!

I'm a bit breathless here Rick! They're beautiful and deep and really impressive processing results.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne (Justin Tilbrook)]

Wow!!!!

Fabulous Rick!

Look at that resolution!
Nothing like skill and quality equipment.

Cheers,

Justin.

[Paul Haese]

Yep that is rather nice. I really like the colours, the field of view and the tiny stars. The detail is very nice too.

That is exactly the same rig I have except I am not at 4000m. I have been considering a remote setup in the SRO for the last 6 months, this image is not helping me say no to that idea.

[E_ri_k (Erik)]

Amazing Rick! Superb detail in the centre version:eye pop: I love the colours

[RobF (Rob)]

So much detail, they almost look over-sharpened in the thumbnails, but the hi-res pics are stunning Rick.

[DJT (David)]

Just looked at this again, full res on an iPad..whooooomph..stunning.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with those other northern targets.
