ngc6357 with QHY9

[Ken]

Hi this is my first Lrgb with the QHY9 no Ha still seems to be plenty of red. NGC6357 in Scorpius is a nice emission area plenty of faint bits around the edge. Taken with 190 Mak- Newt on EQ6 mount, lum 1.2 red 1.2, green 1.2, blue 1.8 hours.

Nice shot, Ken. Maybe a touch too red, but plenty of detail there. Keep up the good work

A lot of detail in that. Probably too red but it is quite a red object.

Very nice image Ken, as the others have said.

Looks nice Ken....good detail,tone down the red a bit and increase the contrast a touch and should pop nicely.

Ken, here is my pic of the same object taken with a Canon 1000d. Apparently mine is washed out, and not strong enough looking, whereas yours is a little too red. i dont see much in it between the two, colourwise that is, so there must be a very fine line where "There is exactly enough red, and its exact saturated and bright enough"

some nice detail

[Ken]

Thanks guys for the feedback, your right the red over powers the detail. The QHY9 is weak in the blue I took some extra blue subs to compensate for this maybe I needed more.

Hi Ken,

Well the blue star stands out pretty well. Cant say about the red - whats a bit of red between friends anyway! I think its a great image.

Well done
David

Thanks David and Marc I decided to start again on this one, try to tame the red down.

Ken,

I actually like the first one a bit more. But, I do agree with Louie, that if it had a bit more contrast, it'd finish it off.

That object looks so ominous!

Good work.
