Mr PacMan's innards...

[ChrisLX200]

I reprocessed some old data from 2014/15 with the aim of revealing as much of the internals of Mr. Pacman as possible - at least those seen using my TV NP127is. I probably pushed it too far in processing because I threw everything at it - StarTools and PixInsight. This was 10x 1800s each channel (Ha, OIII and SII), Atik490EX, NP127is, Losmandy G11.

Hmm. Looks better in full-res if you can stand the 19MB download... http://s970.photobucket.com/user/ChrisLX200/media/Astro - Images/LRVB PI crop_zpshojvvwue.png.html

This a great rendition of a target that seems to be slowly growing on me over time! You've given me some ideas for the ODK

This was the DSO I was imaging last - whenever that was...

Thanks Sara, those Bok globules and pillars would make a fine target at higher res!

Must have been sometime last year? It will be back in prime position again in a couple of months :-)

The high res image is a real stunner Chris with great sharp detail on the Bok Globules.  Warm rich colour tones of your HST palette too.  I really like the menacing Pacman just about to burst out of the screen . . .

A great composition and image. Excellent.

[ChrisLX200]

Thanks Barry, glad you like it!

[Galactic Wanderer]

What a fantastic image , it looks amazing.

[ultranova]

Amazing, the colours certainly refine the detail,

the full res is a cracker, nicely done Chris

Thanks Chris, Sebatien and Paul :-) Colour usually kills detail I think but I used the Ha as Lum here..

Excellent Image Chris.

[ChrisLX200]

Thanks Sarge :-)

Great image, with the fine detail you've really brought the Pacman to life (it's always looked pretty flat and boring when I've tried to capture it!).

Paul

[ChrisLX200]

Thanks Paul!

[Gina]

[ChrisLX200]

Amazing Chris--2 questions:  1) How did you get this image scale with a 5" scope?  It looks like it was taken at a much higher focal length--like 1,960 or something.  2) How did you get such spectacular clarity with only 10 subs per channel?  I use a tV np101is and even 30 1800sec subs per channel does not get me anywhere near this level of clarity and sharpness.  Same old thing huh?
