Barnard's Loop now in Colour!!!

Added 3 hours (in 10min subs) worth of RGB data to my previous 5 hours of Ha image...

Noise still an obvious problem and probably a tad overcooked, but what the hey!!!

high res...

Very nice work indeed Doug

gday Doug

Now that is just great. Fantastic perspective as well. Gives a great idea of whats going on in the region.

Interesting dark nebula diagonally across the loop from M78 - I probably should know what that is but i dont.

Fantastic mate. It deserves to go straight to Daryl Kerrigans Pool Room Wall.

Doug,

Looking good.

Although, you need to punch the blues and greens up in the mid-tone to highlights region. There is an obvious bias towards red in the image.

Doug,

Doesn't look too over cooked to me. I like it a lot. Great work.

Great work and another interesting perspective of that part of the sky

Bassnut (Fred) · #8 14-02-2010, 06:40 PM

wow, I dont think Ive seen this view like this before, excellent, very dynamic.

telemarker (Keith) · #9 14-02-2010, 08:22 PM

That is a beautiful vista! Shows the extent of the nebulosity of the Orion region.

One small criticism - the trap in M42 is burnt

AlexN · #10 14-02-2010, 09:01 PM

Outstanding! You're really taking wide field to new heights Doug.. Loving your work...

Mark - That dark neb across the loop from M78 is LDN1622.. Given that it is classified as a dark nebula, its actually fairly bright.. Easily imaged from dark skies..

Mr Robertson, that is some nice work

and very well executed, a fantastic effort i might add,

and the colour is spot on.

Nice work Dougie.

Wow there is so much going on out in space! It certainly is not the empty void we imagine it to be.

Cheers H - I've tweaked the high res version with your comments in mind and also tried to get on top of the noise issue without getting that unnatural look (hopefully)

Cheers Rob - it's the first time I've used the 70-200mm f4L lens on the night sky for just under a year!! I'm pretty happy with it's performance...it's a classy piece of glass!
