At last an image!! ngc1333

[peter shah]

It feels like an age since my last shot....ive been grabbing data as ive gone along this object ive really wanted to do for years im quite pleased with the result

NGC1333 in Perseus LRGB 307mins in Luminance 90mins in red 81mins in blue 56mins in Green taken over two nights and showing four minor planets which show up as very small RGB lines...you have to look quite hard to see them.

Oh yeah and ive fitted a UV/IR blocking filter which has really helped with the star colour!

cheers peter

Pin sharp and gorgeous colour as usual Pete. It's been a lean time the last few months, glad to see you have grabbed some photons

That's very nice from where I am

A very good job.

An unusual one for sure with weird detail in the centre but dust coverage well captured, not sure if RGB asteroids are good or bad.

Never heard of it, but I like it when people image something different...

Very nice shot Peter, loads going on.

[peter shah]

many thanks for the comments

here is a crop and the other minor planets

[MartinB]

Super deep and glorious colour. Wonderful

[Shibby]

A stunning image! I personally think the asteroids are a great bonus

[Whippy]

That's a fantastic image Peter, the red in the object itself with the brown of the dust makes it look volcanic to me and the dust in the bottom right looks really nice too .

fantastic image Peter, pin sharp and awesome colour.

[glennbech]

This object is one of my favorites! Great capture! I've tried two times, but given up DSLR imaging of this one :-)

[RobH]

You never dissapoint with the quality of your work Peter

That's a really interesting image, with loads going on.

Cheers

Excellent work, Peter, I love it when the imagers describe what is going on. There is certainly a lot going on in that picture, especially with regards to the minor planets. I saw two before I scrolled down to read your other post!

[guyroch]

WOW, you should be very proud, there is a lot dust visible in this one.

[peter shah]

Many thanks for all the comments....it really is a lovely part of the sky with so much going on there....I was fighting against the conditions here....nothing new there then!!....it could do with a bit more exposure time but im going to leave it for now and add to it later...i want to get one of my other projects finished

[ollypenrice]

I think that is a tremendous image with the thrilling sense of energy occulted by thick dust. I have never seen anyting quite like it but you do get great results when signal is faint and really expert handling of colour is needed.

Olly

(Or maybe it would be better just to say that you get really great results, full stop!)

[astrokat]

wow thats fantastic bud love all the dust

[glennbech]

... It should also be said that this target is not for the beginner, or the faint of heart .-) (and maybe not for a DSLR). I did 20x7 minute exposures of this one with my 8" newtonian and a modified 10D last year;

... Not quite the same result you could say :-)

It really is a tricky one....the dust is pretty much black glowing very gently against the blackness of space....so the only way is to keep the sig to noise up and just keep on exposing.....easier said with this weather

one thing i didnt realise was this area is full of Herbig-Harow objects...but i guess this is the sort of area you would find them, stars thick with dusty gassy stuff

[Yoddha]

Superb image, Peter! The colors and details are very charming!

[glennbech]

It really is a tricky one

But greater pleasure .-) Is this the full Resolution image or is it resampled? Any chance of a higher-resolution post?

Is that one I see over to the RHS, the yellow star??

[peter shah]

Im not sure....i only found out it had HH flows because i was reading up on the object....there are around 20, im guessing all around the centre of the frame so not sure about the star on the RHS

i can send you the full res shot to look at via email if you want to take a close look....its too big for the forum, unless someone can work out how to do it!
