A fresh look at NGC1333

I have always thought NGC1333 was a pretty cool looking object but I have never imaged it thinking my system has too short of a focal length. This object as seen through the eyes of an RC is very impressive. I thought I'd shoot it this past week to see what I got and guess what -- I got dust! It seems that almost everywhere I point my scope I get images of dust. There's NGC1333 as pretty as ever but surrounded by very faint clouds of dust.

The dust itself has some pretty interesting colors and details.

Comments and criticism welcome.

Best,

Tom,
I think it is an awsome picture. Can you please make it smaller to fit my computer screen ?

Wow, spectacular image.

You have a real collection of these real wow images.

Greg.

Tom,
I love this image! The wider field and dust add so much to the overall appearance. And, your processing is exceptional.... as always! I think your images always distinguish themselves from other imagers because of the time you devote to collecting the data, followed by your expert processing, especially your processing of the dust. Thanks for sharing another sweet image and raising the bar a little higher for us all.
Cheers,
Tyler

Tom,

great result! nothing left for criticism!
a w e s o m e!

Thomas, simply suberb!
Yeah, your images a VERY DUSTY lately, but this is THE ONLY dust that I really enjoy! 8)

Keep'em coming!

Wow Tom, that is strikingly good!

Nice job Tom!
It seems that the color of the stars through the dust is just what one would expect - shorter wavelengths extinguished and the longer reds showing through. Nice stars - must have been good seeing - or were you using AO?
