NGC4038 Ringtail

Posted By Greg Bradley
That's a beauty.

Amazing those 2 long tails of stars. Those galaxies are now spread over a vast amount of space.

Fantastic shot.

Nice colour scheme with that choice of filters.

Its nice to see some variety with filter choice.

Another Centaurus A

That is a really fine image Jim. You see the spray of blue star forming areas and the band of dust can be seen to go around the other side of the main galaxy (this is 2 galaxies that have collided).

Brilliant, especially seeing as it must be quite low for you.

Imagine what you could have captured here at near the zenith!

M20 more exposure time

Posted By Greg Bradley
I ended up using less of the shots as they weren't all at the same orientation. A lesson for next time.

But I did flat field the previous shots and it made a big difference. This is the final processing on this (up to about 12 hours of work now!).

I was able to process the faint nebulosity surrounding the Trifid which is not normally seen. The faint blue nebulosity extends to virtually the entire photo. This Tak FS152 scope enthralls me. It is truly a delight.

I have noticed in a number of the images from my rural site that there is more to the object than normally seen. I put this down to the excellent optics on the Tak scope and the magnificent skies there at Bigga. They are stunning.

Well Tyler, send me an email if you come down to Oz and I'll take you there.

Cheers,

Greg.

M57 + surrounds

Fantastic image Rick.

There are several galaxies in the background as well which look great.

Great depth of image. It seems to me a lot of the objects we image are a lot larger than commonly shown.

Thought I found a Supernova....

Hi Jim,

That is intriguing.

I also imaged M83 with 6 x 10 minute exposures and there was a moving object in my luminance shots as well.
It was shot about 2 weeks ago. I assumed it was an asteroid.
