Damn that's good, I thought they banned you from using the Hubble

I WAS WRONG

Brilliant Sara

Paul

I don't know why we need the Hubble when we have Sara

Brilliant as usual.

[andyo]

Great image look forward to seeing the colour version when done

[swag72]

Thanks Dave and Andy  

Hubble certainly has the monopoly on clear skies.... unlike me at the moment  Still, the moon is about, so meanwhile I continue to image asteroids  

[spaceboy]

Simply stunning image !!!

[Rudeviewer]

This is amazing!

[swag72]

Thanks @spaceboy and @Rudeviewer - I'm glad that you like it! Meanwhile the asteroid quest continues while the moon is about

This is great Sara - you seem to be getting some great consistent results with your ODK10 Mesu combination - best wishes Tony

This is a low one for me - Only gets to 37 degrees maximum and I was just starting to only image above 40 degrees  

Great image Sara. I'm going to have a go at this with narrowband - as soon as cloud and moon allow. I envy your 'low' of 37 degrees...I have to image this at just above 20 degrees.

[Stargazer33]

Too many superlatives come to mind, so I will just say "stunning, simply stunning"!

[opticalpath]

Whew ... this is a bit special, Sara! 
Wonderful just as it stands in mono ...... but I can't wait to see what you do with bi-/tri-colour too.

Thanks guys for your continued comments - This mono will form the basis of my luminance channel for the final colour version

[Gina]

That is certainly a contender for my favourite DSO   I think it's the one I've spent most time on and I can still see room for improvement (in my images).

[swag72]

Thanks Gina - It must be pretty low for you..... It's bad enough here

[Gina]

Yes, it is pretty low.  There's a very large oak tree (or trees) at the bottom of the next field that blocks some of these low DSOs for some of the time and, of coure, it's getting bigger year by year

[MarsG76]

Amazing detail and depth, well done. Who needs the hubble?

 

[swag72]

Thanks @MarsG76 - Glad that you like it

[mert]

Stunning image. Lots of hard work paid off.

[swag72]

Thanks @mert - Just waiting for the moon to go so I can finish this off

The moon, my nemesis  

[StuartJPP]

Excellent as usual Sara...

[swag72]

Thanks Stuart .... The OIII is starting to come on slowly

[astro mick]

Quality shows,another fine example.

Mick.

[swag72]

Thanks Mick! The OIII is done, the bicolour version is processed and its still sitting here on my lappy as I'm not happy with it.

How can one ever hope to get a great image of such an iconic photo from Hubble?

That's fantastic. Great detail. This was the first dso I knew about ☺. Great job Sara. Can't wait for the color version. Get that data!!!
