Sailing into the Wind - AE Aurigae and IC405 - The Flaming Star Nebula

[Boren]

Hi guys,

Here's an image I shout from the Negev Desert Thus. before last.

Seeing was just wonderful – perhaps one of the best ever in that site.

I decided to return to an object I truly love, which I haven't visited for more than 3 years now.

I tried a different framing on it – one which fits better with my own perception of it as a great heavenly sail, facing strong winds…

I hope you like it, and any comments are, as always, very welcome!

Cheers,

Harel

[Boren]

Harel

thank you it is just stunning, a real tonic in the current terrible weather we are having in Yorkshire!!

[Boren]

Thanks RIch, Gina,

I can imagine how frustrating can bad weather be, if it just comes and stays there...

I hope that by the next new moon you guys will have a little break in the clouds, and get under a starlit sky again.

Cheers,

Harel

Wow thats nice well done

Holy smoke, Harel, we know you're good but this is outrageous! It's those tiny stars! They blew up like crazy when I imaged this area and really needed beating down with a heavy hand which left the image very compromised. Yours look like NB stars in size and really allow the nebula to show cleanly.

All tips gladly received...

That's pretty special - nice deep colours and that striking difference between the reds and blues
