Virgo triplet (this time in colour)

[johnrt]

Firstly let me apologise for spamming the forums with a second thread in as many days, but an unprecedented amount of clear skies turned up and I was able to finish this from start to finish in 3 nights & 12.5 hours of imaging in total (including all the colouring in as I once saw it described on this very forum )

So as before Altair 6” RC Atik 460ex, Baader LRGB & IDAS LPS2 - SGPro, Pixinsight and CS5.

I’ve also attached the annotated mono version for those fuzzy fans, I count about 50 galaxies hiding in the background.

Hope you like (and sorry for being a spammer!)

Oh dear John, thats just a little bit special . With images like this I don't think theres a spam limit.. Seems a very capable camera in the right hands, thanks for sharing

Wow that is so crisp. Stunning sir.

[johnrt]

Thank you! I £399 scope shouldn't really be this sharp should it, it's just not fair on all the ones that cost x10 as much

Lovely work as always John

Absolutely Fabulous. I have one of these scopes on a future upgrade list. Are you using a flattener with this?

Fantastic image! That's a really special shot, thanks for posting. It's one of those shots you can look at for ages. The mind boggles at just how many stars are in there- or how many planets there might be!
