Contrasty Central Rosette

[ampleamp]

I had intended to get some O111 and S11 last night to add to my Ha from last week, but must have been elsewhere in my head as i only took Ha again. So here is the result of 32 x 20mins Ha taken with my TMB/APM1200-152, with 0.75 Riccardi reducer and my trusty SXVR-H694 and 5nm Ha filter. This is a bit more contrasty than my normal taste but I will balance that off assuming i remember to gain the remainder of narrow band data.

Thanks for looking

Nice! I like this, it's nice and sharp and a most pleasing composition

The extra contrast gives it the 3D look.. it looks great...

Love it! I agree that the contrast gives a nice sense of depth - looks great on my monitor and is not overcooked at all IMHO

Oh yes, the leaping leopard really stands out in your 3D image! Five out of five for that one.

Great image with very nice detail.  Well done.

What a beautiful capture, my wife and I were looking last night and spotted an Antelope under the leopard that just looked as if it was about to pounce :-)

When I get round to capturing the Rosette then I must ensure I include that or use my 8" RC to get closer in.

Really beautiful image and pin sharp stars.
