Vdb 149,150

[martin_h]

Don't you just love happy accidents? I made a start on Vdb 149/150 a couple of nights ago, and while researching it on the net I discovered that it was right next to Vdb 152, which I had imaged last year and guess what? they join!!!!!!!! 

So, a bit of a work in progress at the moment due to lack of lum subs but I had to have a go at joining them up.

Vdb 149 and 150 are the small blue reflection nebs left and right of the dust column on the left of the image, Vdb 152 is on the right of the image.

Stars are a bit dodgy at the moment and loads of noise reduction and photoshop jiggery pokery going on but you get the gist of the image. I just need 2 or 3 clear moonless nights to finish it off.

Truly stunning pair. Superb capture and processing of very tricky objects. Love the rich dusty browns.
