Popular Post Peter Shah Posted September 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2021 The Pelican Nebula imaged from my back garden in the Mid Wales. I've just re-fitted my 12in F3.8 Newtonian ready for a new seasons imaging this is the first shot taken. I still prefer it in the HST the pallet over RGB. Exposure time was 1hr in each RGB, 6x600s with the H35 CCD. Processed with Pixinsight and Photoshop. Comments welcome Thanks for looking Peter full res here https://www.astrobin.com/full/v0ajcw/0/?mod=&real= +DaveJW, Craig, +Ibbo and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I realise there's no 'right way up' for astro images but it took me a while to recognise the Pelican that close up (without NGC7000 in the field) as I'm so used to seeing images of it rotated 90° to 180° CCW! Great image though, and whilst the HST pallet works well on this target, I do prefer RGB images in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 That's pin sharp Pete, the more you look the more you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 It looks very ' washed out ' and bland on here but going over to the full res image it takes your breath away. At full res it takes on a whole new life and is just stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too like an RGB but as you say this one completely transforms in HST 1 hour ago, BAZ said: That's pin sharp Pete, the more you look the more you see. I love this scope, its very special....super pin sharp.....its been sitting on the floor in the observatory for months now. I've not had the time to sort it out....finally done it ....I had to rebuild the Paramount I changed the bearings and RA worm it looked like a Lego set at one point, but the guide graphs now from it are just incredible like a dead mans cardiogram. 1 hour ago, Graham said: It looks very ' washed out ' and bland on here but going over to the full res image it takes your breath away.
