    All v nice, the lack of data in one channel does not detract from the images.

    Thanks, Simmo. Some how it just worked! 😁

    Great.  Very nice contrasts both in the brightnesses and the colours, particularly in the last one.

    I think you're flipped on the long axis, no?

    Thanks Olly. 😀 The three full size ones are orientated as my view facing east according to Starry Night 7, using naked eye. The close up is orientated so the pillars are "upright" for the viewer, so yes, flipped. 👍

  2. Howdy,

    This is one of those images that kinda fell together and seemed to turn out quite well despite the conditions and lack of data in one channel. I have done a couple of different versions of SHO and a RGB style HOO. I also did a close up crop out of interest.

    I hope you enjoy the view, thanks for looking

    Cheers and clears!

    The HOO is very nice.

    I really don't like green in astro images so the SHO version is out for me, I would have shifted  the colors in post to avoid the green.

    That's the first sketch ever of M17 by Herschel. Seeing as he had a pencil and paper I think he'd look at your image and be pretty astounded, call it cutting edge and be flabbergasted by the idea that you think your gear is no good ;)

    Dude had a 48" telescope and you just did this on something that is a fraction of that size using a technique that had probably only been done a few times (keeping the shutter open) ever. Oh and you're tracking the sky mechanically. Pretty certain if Herschel came back today he'd be happy to hang with you and your scope heh.

    LOL! Can't argue with that! 😄

    Very nice image and detail I like the colours

    Thank you Stephen. I like to leave some of the green in my SHO images. 👍

    We've come a long way. Nice work.

    Wow, thanks Hive, a very interesting image. And I guess that image was taken at the cutting edge for that time as well. 

    LOL! Not that my gear is cutting edge! 😁

  6. Howdy,

     

    Well, through the wet weather, I've finally managed enough data to stop reprocessing and actually create a new image.

    Please find attached my version of the Wolf Nebula, SL17, which is a HOO with RGB stars attempt. Please forgive the ugly halos, I think I know what it is although I lack the sky time to get up to the obs and mess around.

    Details with image and you can use the size buttons at the bottom for a bigger or smaller sizing.

    Cheers and clears!

  7. Well, my three dragon race has been run and I'm knackered with an LRGB, HOO and SHO each (We won't mention a rather poor attempt at HaLRGB for the quadfecta). happy04.gif

     
    For your viewing pleasure, here is my interpretation of the Hubble palette of NGC6188 and friends.
     
    I have tried very hard with this one to go "less is more", similar to my HOO version but with even less. No artificial sharpening, minor noise reduction and careful stretching, some colour manipulation to remove some of the green and the addition of RGB stars.
     
    I have left it a bit tame in the colour palette as I felt I was murdering good data trying to get it to be teal and gold all over. It appears to respond to the subtle colour change better and reveals a lot of structure in the nebulousness over most of the image.
     
    Doing these three images has helped change the way my processing is being done, with some core strategies for linear data now firmly entrenched in my mind, seemingly giving rise to much better data when stretched. Of course, it must be good data to start with(well,as good as I can get it).
     
    I hope you take a look and find the viewing enjoyable.
     
     
    As always, details with images.
     
    Cheers and clears! thumbsup.gif
     
    PS: HOO version is here
     
     
    LRGB is here
