M27 Revisited.

3 x 4 minute manually guided images.
Aligned and stacked in registax
Processed in Paint Shop Pro.
Probably a little heavy handed with the processing, but I like it!



However you really need to see this in full res TIF (3.8MB) . The jpg compression doesn't do it any favours.
(best right click on link and click 'save target as')
I'm pleased with this one!

or maybe I should show it cropped but in 1:1 resolution.

I give up. Superb.

The red comes out really well, too well I thought until I checkd the red stars to the lower right of the nebula, they all have a B-R of 3 to 3.3 which looks about right. You have stars down to 15th magnitude in the red.

And so you should be. Superb image Dave!

Well done Dave!

By the way, an amateur may have discovered what appears to be a nova in M27 in the last week or so.


Taichi-san gave the tentative name OT_J195951.3+224232 to the new object.

Can you spot this object in your image?

Cheers

Dave,
respectfully, I have slightly defaced your image to show where I think the nova could be in your image:



Nice shot (the original) by the way!

Seanie.
