glowingturnip Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Just thought I'd share some pics of a canvas print of one of my images that my wife surprised me with:I'm very pleased with it. Obviously not a good way of showing high resolution data, but it's a fun format and gives a nice splash of colour, and you can make out the trapezium too ! My wife says the main nebula looks like a vulture flying to bottom left - head with beak, and outstretched wings behind it.The original image is here. Actually one of my early efforts, the amount of raw data collected is embarrassingly limited, but I think I had large dollops of beginners' luck with the focus and guiding. It's been reprocessed at least 4 times by now.Orion Nebula (M42, NGC 1976) - remastered by glowingturnip, on FlickrCheers,S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottS Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 That's great! I need something like this for my kitchen wall I think.Must be a great feeling seeing it on the wall, knowing it's your own work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Milner Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Wow! Looks good. I've shied away from online canvas print companies thinking the print may come out badly done. Yours looks good and as good a job as I would hope for. Which canvas company was used? Lovely image by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London, though don't know exactly where. I've got a proper hi-res gloss print of my Rosette take too, that I need to get framed up properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
