NGC7635 - The Bubble nebula in HST palette

[swag72]

This is the first complete image with my Orion Optics ODK10. I was a little worried how my mount would cope with 1.7m in focal length, but I needn't have bothered! This is a Hubble Palette (I know, I know..... not bicolour!!!!) so a little different to my usual.

While the edges look rough on here, they are fine on the larger version........ honest!!!

That's really effective Sara. I love the framing and palette.  Still loving the Avalon and Kodak chip then? 

[Tzitzis]

Wow... It's like I have never seen it before... So much detail! Wow great job!

[Freddie]

Very nice. Plenty of detail in there. 

[SnakeyJ]

Incredible detail in this image Sarah and beautifully resolved and processed.    Glad to see and hear the Avalon is performing at this focal length.

Thanks all for looking and commenting - It's much appreciated. 

The scope took a little tweaking but the collimation instructions were easy enough to follow. There's a couple of things that I think OO should say before even touching the scope, so I'll forward those thoughts on to the guys at OO.

I was worried about how the Avalon would cope with the scope, but it's absolutely fine and dealing with the focal length admirably. I can't say how pleased I am with this mount, it's a top quality product (even if it's just a blinged up EQ6!!!

As for the Kodak chip ............ Love it!!! I wish I'd never bothered with the ICX814 Sony chip and should not have listened to the doubters out there.

Very nicely worked image. the detail in the bubble itself is the stand out feature for me and I like the way you have controlled the bright area

[laudropb]

Very nice image. You have brought out the detail in the bubble very well.

[Kbramley]

Incredible subtle detail inside that bubble, this is the best I have seen.

Wow, that's a bigger image scale :-) I wasn't expecting to see that when I read the post title. You new scope is working very well indeed, I hope the ODK12 I have on order is as good.

That is very, very impressive with delicate resolution and lovely control of the brightness in the Bubble itself. And your usual 'no slacking' approach to getting enough data!

Yves and I never did get a manual for his ODK, though I asked for one. You seem to have managed without!

Very impressive performance from the Avalon, too.

Don't remember seeing that level of detail in the Bubble before, nice work.

Crikey Sara that's gorgeous. The central area is so bright and looks incredible bathed in those crisp electric blues. I'm sure the new kit is cracking but you got to say this is about the imager.

Very nice capture with an impressive looking scope!

[Adriano]

Great work! I like it a lot.

[Dark Horizon]

Oh_my_GOD!!!  This is utterly obscene!!!  Wow, what a cracking image. Well done Sara.

I get the feeling you're not done with this image though??

[swag72]

Thanks folks for looking and taking the time to comment

........I get the feeling you're not done with this image though??

I can assure you that this image is done for ............... Do you think it needs more?

[Fay]

Very beautiful Sara, great capture, love the colours

[Dark Horizon]

Oh yeah!!  needs a good couple more days of data, in my opinion  LOVL  

It's a blinder. No, i think you've done enough!

[swag72]

Thanks folks for your comments - Much appreciated

No more on this one for sure
