The Jellyfish Nebula: Bortle 8, OSC

[Lee_P]

This was a real toughie to process! The end result may be too vivid for some, but I personally quite like the striking palette, and I've never seen the Jellyfish presented in these colours before. As always, the data was gathered with a small refractor and OSC camera under Bortle 8 skies. More info on my website here.

That is a great image, only thing I would do it to rotate it 180 degrees but otherwise I love it 🙂

Thanks! I did try rotating it actually, but didn't like it quite as much. Maybe because I'd spent so much time looking at it the other way around, it just didn't seem right to me  😂

And quite right, no right or wrong, all personal preference and I still think it is a fantastic image 🙂

That is stunning!  Thanks for posting.

Very nice. It certainly has a bit of 'nip' to it.

Haha, I guess that's one way of putting it!

I like everything about this image.  The colours are lovely to my eye and the whole image very striking.
