Cheers for the input Steve

I miss the Northern Hem, Bodes galaxy, the Pelican Neb . If only we lived on a flat earth

A Narrowband image from Victoria Australia during lockdown this week Details Skywatcher 10" Quatro Qsi583wsg data 2 hrs Narrowband I'd very much like opinions regarding Narrowband stars, not so much within this image of mine but more generally My question being are Magenta stars acceptable or not, some don't mind them. Others insist on removing the Magenta halos. What is deemed acceptable with regard to Narrowband star Halos, leave them in or remove them. Opinions guys.

Very much a Southern object I'm afraid

You and me both Carole, I went a bit crazy on this one. It's a good job that Narrowband is subjective.

A good question, I probably couldn't repeat it If I tried again. The initial colour combination had that area leaning towards cyan . I brought out more Blue using the selective colour tool in PS and by layer masking. The O3 data was also binned and stronger than I normally would expect

Lobster Neb from Yea Victoria Australia Imaging Scope TS130APO Camera QSI583WSG Astrodon Narrowband Filters HOO mapped. 4hrs integration

Just getting my own back , mines rubbish

Gee, Jellyfish Neb , running man, running chicken, skull and crossbones, the propellor, butterfly, withches broom. Who dreams all these names up. At least this one resembles the name pretty well. It's a fine image, showing great resolution, superb guiding . I think this image will sell some scopes. Having said that mines better

I certainly do, I smashed a tooth earlier this week. Thanks Buddy for the comments

Always

Thanks guys for the positive comments. There is a mistake in the original post, the data was taken not with my TS 130 Apo as stated but with my Meade ED80. Apologies. However I do have an image of the Carina Nebula taken with the TS 130 Apo which I will include. The star processing is rubbish on this version. I do have a better one but it's on a different machine. I'll post the image if anyone is interested. I probably should add that I've been a SGL member for some years, I moved from Wales to Australia in 2015 so have been lucky to be able to image in both Hemispheres

Yes mate it was indeed
