Thanks Ben ! You are right! It should have been named the Fractal Nebula!

Haha so true Jim ! All in the eye of the beholder. There is so much to shoot in this area and its surrounds and the signal in all 3 narrow bands is strong. Cheers Carlos

Thanks Dan !

NGC 2070 or more commonly known as the Tarantula Nebula is a popular target in the southern hemisphere. This large emission nebula is an extremely luminous non-stellar object about 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud with an estimated diameter of 652 light-years. It is the...

Great result on this target using OSC colors Jim ! If you want to experiment with extracting more colors then keep trying with the narrowband channels you have extracted. You may be able to get more hues of orange,yellow, blue and green. Subtlety is always the key imho. But nothing wrong with...

Thank you Alisa !

Thanks Jim !

Thank you Ben !

Orion Nebula (M42) and the Running Man Nebula (Sh2-279) in a 2-panel mosaic shot in LRGB. Was still able to showcase the interstellar gas and dust clouds surrounding M42 and Sh2-279 without blowing out the core (trapezium) too much of M42. M42 is only 1,500 light-years away and about 30 to 40...

Thanks Mike !

Thanks Mike! I'll be posting the RGB version soon 😀

Cheers Mike! Appreciate it and your comment on AB! I originally thought the bow was a reflection of some kind in my imaging train so I had to look up other images and glad it wasn't 😀

Welcome to FocalWorld Fred and congrats on the Featured Daily Photo !

Thanks Les ! She is a beautiful target indeed.

Great lead-up story and result Jim! Congrats! It's great to be able to image from your backyard isn't it 😀 and yes the more data you have the higher your SNR will be.

Some good data in there Jim and an interesting palette !

Thanks Jim!

Thanks guys !

Added another 36 hours of narrowband data to this target hoping to get more detail around the outside of the eye. Also chose a different palette mix for this one. This target is NGC 7293 or more commonly known as the Helix Nebula or Eye of God or Eye of Sauron. It is a planetary nebula formed...

Thank you Jameel !
