Here's something that's been sitting on my PC since August! Not sure why I've done nothing with it. Anyway, for me this is an eternal favourite, I love it. But there's the problem ...... do I collect colour data (I've already done the Heart in Bi colour before) or just leave it as a mono rendition?

Interestingly, I had to go back and check my data prior to stretch as to the left of the middle there's a dark circle around a detail of nebulosity. It was so pronounced here that I thought I'd messed up on the processing ........... Glad to say that it IS indeed there. Not noticed it before. What I love about this, is that I can get the whole heart in one frame :D

Details:

Details:
M: Avalon LInear Fast reverse
T: Takahashi FSQ85 0.73x
C: QSI683 with 1.25" Ha filters

23x1800s in Ha totalling 11.5 hours.

I'm currenly also sitting on a finished HA-Version of IC1805, (4 panel mosaic).

Now that i have the fixed OIII-Non-Halo-Baader-Filter i will be persuing OIII, but this will probably take me around a half a year.

It seems to me sometimes that the HA looks amazing with contrast, and when you add OIII & SII, it takes away a little of the breathtaking contrast.

But somehow something in my head that this is just an excuse not having to fight hard for that OIII & SII-Data :)

So much said - its a phenomenal image you have made. I'd be interested in a crop of the bottom right hand side's background to see the noise level?

Kind regards, Graem

I don't know, thats why i'd love to see a crop of the right bottom corner :) (The image you attached is too small for me to be able to see background noise levels)

As i have been getting as much SNR as possible on this target, i'd love to compare it to mine (this will be my first huge 2 meter by 1 meter printout) - i have been not able to pull out as much contrast as you,  could be related to my bad sky quality or integration time. Just out of interest.

I can see what you mean in Sara's great picture. My first attempt at IC1805 this spring (one shot with a Canon 60Da on an ES ED80) really looked more like the final proof of existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (http://www.venganza.org/about/). I will do my best to capture the rudeness in my next attempt....

Thanks Olly - I am pleased that it's not only me!!! I know that you are partial to calling this the 'Members member' :D

Thanks Ruud :) Glad that you like it.

No, the Member's Nebula which resonates verbally, for me, with the entirely unconnected 'Members' Banking' at Brooklands, the pre-war race track. I just like words and play around with them endlessly!
