Wow! A stunning, bold image with lots of details if you zoom in.

Thank you...I like the higher bolder saturation styles...

Wow, another superb image Peter!

Even your remote hosting network that I saw you post over on CN is incredible!

Thanks you

Beautiful work....there's so much going on

nicely done Carole....

The star forming region NGC6823 in Vulpecula, imaged remotely from Spain with  the ASA 12N and asi2600mm pro..
Exposure time was 184 x 180s in SII, 60 x 180s in Ha and 60x 180s in OIII then 40 x 60s each in RGB.

Thanks for looking

super quality Rodd another fine image

I agree image processing has come a long way.... there are some very clever people out there writing this stuff

Wowzer, that's dramatic! I love it and I also think it's an image that the advertising industry might love to exploit.

Cheers Olly....I'm not expecting to see the cheques roll in any time soon lol

V nice!

Thank you

lovely contrast and the golden glow from those stars are just beautiful Olly

I have Affinity not used it yet for astro ...I will give it a go soon I think.... V2 has just been released

Oooh I really like that one Peter.

Ive always imaged this target with wider FOV, but this makes me want to attack again with my larger scopes.

Lee

Its a great target and worth going back to definitely, I will probably do the same at some point with the 16in and go in tight on some of those lovely knotted regions..

Thats not easy to do to add three different sessions and make them gel seamlessly....really great work 

Wow in your face or what...Love that field of view with some great detail...great job Rodd

super work on that...beautiful outer shell

Brilliant execution Peter, just jealous of all that exposure data…

Thank you Francis ....I've been the collecting data but haven't had the time for any processing.

That's a very colourful Gandalf, neither gray nor white. Excellent image.

Yes its a bit like marmite, you either love the style or hate it....with this style I don't actually use the saturation tool to pull out the colour...contrast stretches, layering methods etc makes it easy, then a slight push with vibrance which is less harsh than saturation.

Looks very luminous and glowing on my screen. Nice image Peter.

Thanks you... I  quite like the higher saturation style of imaging but I do understand that not everyone likes it.

The Wizard Nebula NGC 7380 in SHO, Imaged remotely from Spain with the ASA12N f3:6 and asi2600mm Pro..
Exposure times were 45x300s in SII, 35x 300s in Ha and 35x 300s in OIII. Processed in Pixinsight and finished in Photoshop.

Thanks for looking

Possibly because the Heart has higher contrasting detail....this is a much softer object and a lot more effort needed to show its features.....which you have done brilliantly BTW, those delicate dusty tones are sublime 

another cracker....beautiful

Great image Peter. Isnt it nice to compare with old photos and see how far we have come. I bet if you re-processed the right hand image with todays techniques, you'll improve it no end, not that it is shabby to begin with.

Adrian

Oh yes definitely.....My work flow is always changing depending on what I'm imaging sky conditions and what latest tools have come out

wonderful image, those colours!

Thank you.... they just seemed to develop quite naturally

A really spectacular Elephant’s trunk Nebula, such rich colour and great detail. Have any of the RC suite of processing tools been used in the workflow?

Thank you....Oh yes I have them all... RC is a genius and his plugins are a must for any imagers tool box.

A great result especially from Telford ..I know it well....

I love that natural rendition

Yes, it is trying to work out what is Ha in the vicinity (there's a lot about in that part of the sky), and what is part of the complex. I may be kidding myself, but I see a partial outer ring of Ha emission. Something outside the typical features we image but tracking the general shape of the Veil.

It's fun when you see something you hadn't noticed before!

I think most of it is generated by the supernova remnant at least in that FOV

Thanks Daz

That is just peachy Peter!!! 😵

I am really please with the way its turned out....was just comparing it to one I took a few years back with my 12in and H35...I know its not a completely fair comparison but it does show how the techniques have moved on
