alacant Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone The last of the new moon images for this month. It's a bit on the pastel side of manley-wax-crayon colouring but you can see the difference between the reflection and the emission nebulae at least but I really hate when the foreground stars FWOABW 'push away' the nebulae, refractor style. I think I've traced it to a rather heavy hand on deconvolution... Still thinking. Thanks for looking and please do feed back on stars, colouring or WHY. 700d @ ISO800 Edited October 21, 2020 by alacant 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew s Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I love the centre portion and the fine diffraction spikes, almost ready for an xmas card. Regards Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam1234 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Looks great to me. I'm still waiting for the clouds to clear here so I can image again, it's been cloudy for the last 3 or 4 weeks, and at least for the next week 😭 It will probably be clear for me on the full moon 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erling G-P Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 A very nice image for sure; love the colours. What's the scale - is it wide field, and what constellation is this located in ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's located in Auriga. HTH Edited October 20, 2020 by alacant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we're not allowed politics, so how about we go for the virus then instead? Edited October 20, 2020 by alacant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam1234 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I suppose I could just blame it on me living in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A second had car dealer bought the lot and he's doing a roaring trade knocking 'em out a 300 quid a pop on the black market. Yeah, that must be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorann Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Yes, as already said, you nicely separated the blue reflection - many have failed in doing that. Like it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
