Another NGC 3372

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Another lovely image, Suavi. We like the colour a lot. Beautiful handling of the fine detail further from the beaten track toward bottom and right.

Well done and perfectly legitimate. Reckon the colour of the stars had no special meaning before, but seemed to have a meaning. Now it is clear that it doesn't. That is a good thing.

Nice palette and detail is great Suavi.

yes it's a great image Suavi, yet another sharpie! Doing it myself this week, Ha being the only filter that can cope with the damned moon, or is SII reasonable too? I found OIII to be pointless the other night.

Definitely thinking of combining a shorter series of subs for the core in my attempt.

Gee, pretty impressive Suavi, huge detail and small stars. Could do with a bit more red, if that makes sense.

Great Image - Molto Carina

Thank you all for such kind comments. I am really glad I did not listen to my reason and set up that night :-)

Simon - I collected all three channels on the same hot, humid ,92% moon and partially cloudy night. Signal in OIII is very strong, so I would go for it as long as the skies are relatively clear. SII is weaker, so it would require twice as many subs as HA IMO. If (read:when) I was to do it again, I would expose OIII at about 1.5 times Ha, and SII 2xHa for this target., so about 1 : 1.5 : 2. Having said that, in this image all are 1:1:1.

Beautiful field. Well done.
