Great image - nice shell

Absolutely fabulous. There are some really cracking images of the Crescent floating about at the moment.

Aggelos, the image is stunning, not to mention it looks great on my desktop background

I accidently came across your post while searching more detail on the Nebulosity Program which I've concluded is probably the best option for me as a starter.

PHD for Guiding (QHY5) and Nebulosity for Imaging and processing (DSLR). Photoshop will have to wait until I get the hang of these two programs first

Do you have any personal suggestions?

Chris.

[Shibby]

Stunning. Awesome resolution!

[symesie04]

Not sure what impresses me most here, the image which is simply gorgeous or the fact your doing 20min subs unguided? I know thats a hell of a mount your using but 20mins unguided??? wow!

[Aggelos Kechagias]

Thank you all

[SkyJamie]

Amazing image Aggelos

[morimarty]

Stunning detail in the nebula Aggelos. With a lovely well processed starfield. Excellent Image!

Missed this one first time around but I'm doing some research on this as a possible target in the future (if our skies ever clear).

This is just awesome.

I love your images, Aggelos. They are increadibly inspirational and spur me on to do better in my own imaging. Thanks for posting.

Superb image! Well done!

[Luis Campos]

ThiS is stunning!

Not only the optical performance / processing, etc....but the tracking precision from this ASA mounts (direct drive) makes possible to achieve the full potential of the optics used...the only limit here is the atmosphere and not the mount, very impresive

Cheers,

I don't think I've ever seen that remarkable blue envelope shell thing before. Amazing.

[JacobvonChorus]

Wow, that is truly amazing. Unguided!?!? Which my mount and a 500mm telescope I am lucky to get a minute unguided with no streaking.
