Bodes Cigar

[Brian28]

I shot this last week and posted the first version , but wasn't totally happy , so i`ve  been playing with the data again , as you do when its cloudy and miserable ...  and I think its improved .. If the weather ever improves enough I think I will soot some more subs to add .. cropped a bit tighter and rotated as well

That is very, very nice.

I like 'dark-space' and a smattering of colourful stars in an astro-shot.

Oh, how have  I tried to get the red tendrils on M82.......   is this mono or OSC   ??     Edge or  130 edt   ??

Whichever, it is poster quality.

Hi Sean , this was taken with the 130 with   QSI583.. , and I'm glad you like it  😊, my first post about a week ago of this image was lacking , so I played with the data somemore and dragged out more detail .. .. 

you could spend hours and days doing it as I'm sure your well aware , and  do ....

Some lovely detail in those galaxy arms and good to see the Ha star burst in the cigar.
