Brilliant and the green does work!

That looks amazing!

lovely image!

That looks so good!

Cool image, very moody.

V nice!

Hi and thanks for the tips, Ill give it a try later and see what I get. I seem to have a lot of comments about green on a lot of my posts I think my computer screen colours may be slightly off.

Thats brilliant!, Makes my 13 hour effort look so weak. I may have to add to mine now but not this season.

V nice, I had always said the Jellyfish was much larger than the monkey head.

Great come back!

A suprising clear night last night ( fog was forecast ) and I was going to add to my Spaghetti Neb image but I thought I need a break and after a quick search for a brightish target I went for the Monkey head. This nebula I did many years ago and was one of the first targets I did. This is 49 x 240s subs taken with my ASI 2600mc and Optolong Ex through my Askar 400. I did one as a straight HOO crop and another as a false SHO image. I think the HOO is a little better to look at. Hints tips and CC welcome

Wow, a lovely image.

Like a good wide field and that's a great image.

V nice!

Thanks, would not call it brilliant, but Im pleased I got it.

You are being kind, thank you. Funny how some targets just dont want to play, I have a few that never seem to come out the way I like no matter what I throw at them.

Hi, when I looked at the second version this morning I could see loads wrong with it. To much looking in one go i think. I will have another go with the data later on but I think it needs more subs to get the best out of it. Was going to try and get more data tonight but life is getting in the way. hopefully tomorrow I will be out to play.

Stunning!

Not sure if this is any better but I think the background is a little less red.

Thank you, I have tried a few things on getting the background levels better but no luck so far, Ill keep tweaking and see where it goes.

Looks great!

This is a target I have wanted to do since first seeing the images of it on this site. I have always considered this target as one of the big boys targets and all ways found an excuse not to try for it. Over the last few weeks I have been chipping away at it with bits of data when the sky would let me and although I havent really done it justice after 13hrs on it I could not do another night on it and feel its time to move on. So here it is 205 x 240s subs taken with my ASI 2600mc and optalong Extreme filter. I have to say to my eyes it looks more like Porky Pigs head than spaghetti! Hints, tips and CC welcome. Thanks for looking.

Yep, v nice! I try not to watch the guiding figures as I might try and do something about them! lol

Yep, V nice!

Always like to see wide field images, puts everything into scale.
