Horse Head

Nice Eric.

Its nice to see this object in a RGB. Many times we see it in H-Alpha.

The Heart Nebula

Posted By Jim Thommes

Taylor,
All three (horsehead, Tree, and Heart) are very fine images. I think I agree with you, the Christmas Tree is the most stunning of the three. But this Heart is a pretty close second.

Brian,
Nice one looks pretty good. I agree about the star sizes and Floyd's rendering adresses this pretty well. I think I prefer the star colors in your original image though.

Dietmar,
Very nice image - Congrats!

But gee, f/18 on your TMB! - Is my math right - over 4100 mm FL? Tell me, what mount are you using?

Sharpless 297

Thanks all for your comments.

Eric. It does look a little like the seagull's head. Here is an image I recently did on that. The image scale is about the same, so the seagull head has a larger apparent size

Nice Floyd. Too bad about the cloud and the limited session.
