Not so Shy Dragons NGC6188

Not so Shy Dragons NGC6188
This was made out of the same shot as the first one all this detail is behind the stars when you remove them. The trick is adding back some stars took me all afternoon ( Well Its Bucketing down with rain why not).

Enjoy a real part of hidden space.
PIP the original photo with all the stars.

A lovely astro image, Steve. FWIW, over the past few days we've had about 150mm!

thank you how I always wanted to show the photos in the first place that the detail of the nebula was the most importance. I know we had 50mm of rain yesterday so more coming your way ,it seems to me we are getting the water needed to have the land recover after the summers fires. just hope it does not mean a bad season coming up as well.....

many thanks I do know just what you mean truly a mass of stars in the shot but removing the stars give you all that detail that has been hidden. great program first time I could not get it to work but I think wrong file type. look forward to getting some more once all this rain stops. glad that you like the shot makes a great background on the computer.

In truth just how I wanted to show these the work is because I am not a Photoshop person at all. I can truly say that the rains helped yesterday made it easier to spend the time. the results of Carina and the Lagoon nebula have come out even better but as they are not a photo most would look at I will not post here.

Carina

compare the link below a whole lot better shot and done the very same way. thanks for your encouragement.

Toz thank you but I do have to thank the rainy day or I would never stuck with it. It totally blew me away when I saw the shot with no stars and the others as well the net result more what I was trying to show from the First place. I will go forward with this in mind and keep both options open. comments like yours and above made all the work worth while so, thank you.
