Dragon Head NGC2040 In Foraxx

Dragon Head NGC2040 In Foraxx
This is Part of the Large Magellanic cloud complex and just below the Man on the Vespa .

While the Shot looks like the Coloured camera shot below, it is far from it. This is the filters in the Hubble pallet but using the Foraxx version which removes all the green and brings out the red. The finer details in the wisps is certainly far more visible that the coloured shot. This pure Narrowband Background and RGB (Coloured camera) stars added.

I am always amazed when I see these captures from you Steve. Those wispy clouds in those colours look great. When I look at the equipment and software to achieve all this I can only take my hat off to you. Well done again.

Best Wishes. Herb

You and I both know I set off on this trip to take quality photos to do real justice of outer space rather than do it by half. Its not the easiest of subjects or the easiest to take but 100% I wanted a quality image this has been my workings since I first started some 5 years ago when I first walked out into the dark with a tracker..

My shot of the horse head nebula which is my current target shoots my fathers book down in flames, I know I have some 4 more nights worth of shots to go but expect the end result to put my father book to shame.

Many thanks as a person who knows me and my photography thank you for sticking with me.

One thing the mono camera delivers is detail in droves The bigger the better you see all that detail.
