NGC1333 closer up.

This is all from the ODK14 but much recently shot data has been disappointing. We are not sure why. Here we used some older Bin 2 colour and some new Bin 1 luminance, all from Yves' 14 inch ODK/Mesu/H36 setup. It is basically this image which formed the central part of my recent widefield in the Tak 85, resized to fit in Registar.

I can see why you like this target! It's stunning, but I can also see how it could turn to a nemesis for someone less experienced. I won't even point that way for a few more years!

APOD?

[Gina]

WOW! That's beautiful

[MartinB]

Very impressive Olly, a object I'm not at all familiar with. A great mixture of nebulosity types beautifully captured

[swag72]

Such a beautiful image, I am sad to say that this has made it to my list of things to do. Sad, as I know I won't get anything as good as this! Nice one Olly.

[fwm891]

Superb. Wonderful colouration right across the frame

[MikeD]

Nice, I love a dusty fov.

Mike.

Great image Olly. I think there may be too much red, or those stars are very very old, or my monitor needs calibrating... will check the latter now.

[Cath]

That's a really lovely image Olly!! .. owe to be able to create images like that

Just thought I'd see what it looks like in the software I'm writing (unlisted video) ..

In what way is it dissapointing?.. resolution? noisy?

The image looks wonderful, but that could be your mastery of photoshop covering the sins of the kit.

A lovely image and analysed in great software. I write software but wouldn't have a clue where to start with all that graphics. I think it's amazing - brilliant stuff Cath :icon_salut:

Low signal and a bit soft. The sky has been 'nearly but not quite' in so far as pulling out all the stops at long FL has been concerned. At shorter FLs and faster F ratios it's been fine.

Cath, I'm too old to have clue as to how you truned our image into a 3D video but thank you!!

Ah good.. I'll keep the mesu on the wish list then.

Oh, the Mesu is the only bit of kit I have here, apart from the Tak FSQ85, which never ever fails! It guided through a couple of nights of dire seeing without demur. Glad to say that the sky is now back in business down in Provence.

Love the red embers like a fire dying out. Very nice.

[ultranova]

I must say Olly you are quite the Master of making every photon count and manipulating it with software to produce some amazing results, a true insperation.

Looking forward to you next master piece.

Very nice work. I wonder if its close enough you can pick out your very own brown dwarfs.
