Popular Post Bob Dobber Posted July 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2023 Never really did anything with this data but went back and re-stacked it last night (kicking myself that I deleted my dark library for the 183MM-Pro that went months ago) and had to crop right in to get rid of the telltale 183 amp glow. Only 4h10m of 120s subs. Had to clone stamp a bit of the amp glow out on the right, and there's some artefacts leftover that I presume the darks would have taken care of. But considering it was "lost data" I'm fairly happy with it! Sheila, Bottletopburly, +seven_legs and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a bit of an obsession with it over the years. This was my best effort I think... Now residing on the wall in the utility as a canvas...

+Glafnazur Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Great images Rob. For some reason the Iris has never been an object that I've liked looking at but your images could change that. Love the canvas 🙂 Bob Dobber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the canvas 🙂 Thanks Dave - I am currently awaiting a (matte) aluminium print of my Crescent Nebula picture. Just deciding which medium works best for astro. Don't want it too reflective for such a dark subject matter. I am ordering so many of these things though that some might end up for sale on eBay!!

Do you mind me asking how much these cost? I am thinking that something like these would make good prizes in the DDAS raffle that I run at our meetings.

I am thinking that something like these would make good prizes in the DDAS raffle that I run at our meetings. No problem - I have been using MyPicture after dabbling with a couple of other providers. They have discounts on very very regularly so you need to join their newsletter mailing list otherwise they are *very* expensive IMO. Both are 80cm x 60cm (other sizes and aspect ratios available), and the canvas cost £20, the aluminium print is £35 but I added a mounting frame at the back for £10. You pay no postage over £49 so I inevitably end up adding bits on to take it over that to save a bit and get something for free, effectively. I'm not on commission in the slightest but I think they do a great job, I would definitely be wary of how different a printed picture comes out versus what it looks like on screen, however. Print is pretty unforgiving and I've had some fairly disappointing outcomes before now... PS - without the discounts they are significantly more, eg. the aluminium print would be something like £115 plus £10. Worth waiting until they send the email with the offer you actually want. PPS - I would happily offer any of my images to use for prizes if of interest! Edited July 14, 2023 by Bob Dobber +Glafnazur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rob, I'll look into that when I've got some time, and thanks for the offer, I may well take you up on that 🙂 Bob Dobber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stu Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 That's very nice! I liked your previous dusty one as well. Hoping to start getting some print worthy images when the nights roll in. Bob Dobber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really keen to see what the difference is and which medium works best with astro subject matter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
