The Ghost and the Iris - 6 scopes and now 11.5 years!

[Laurin Dave]

A reprocess of all the above data using Russ Croman's game changing BXT, SXT and NXT tools, Pixinsight and Photoshop.  Smaller more colourful stars, brown and more dust, more detail in the Iris..  Wide field and close up of the Iris.

Thanks for looking

As a purely Visual Observer (so far!) I find these kind of images just stunning. Beautiful work!

That is mighty!

In particular, I don't think I've ever seen such an interesting Iris. As well as the elusive pinks, you have some rarely seen shafts of brown dustiness close to the core.

This region is an absolute 'must' for the Croman tools. They change everything.

Thanks Olly, much appreciated...  the Iris benefitted from Pixinsight's LHE and HDRM, with HDRM bringing out those shafts of dust.  Layered together and merged in Photoshop of course   .   I've also realised at last that too early application of SCNR or HLVG destroys the browns in dust.

Looks really great and very inspirational Dave! Reminds me that it is high time give my Iris data the same treatment.
