Title: Deep Sky Montage..
Post by: JohnP on Jul 01, 2007, 22:07:26
Hi All,

Not many deep sky images posted recently due to crap weather so I decided to do a poster/ montage of some of my best deep sky objects from last year or so. Most were taken with my SC3 in backgarden. Hope you like & let me know what you think?

Cheers,  John.

Hi John,

Great montage of some excellent images, I did one as well, but like you said the crap weather hasn't helped.
This is the result after processing. :-?

These are the different cloud bases from Mottingham.

Keep up the good work and clear skies.

Hi John

Dated to the nearest month and signed it as well.
If I can, I'll try and print an A2 or A1 so you can frame it.

Tony - You've done it again... I'm off to A&E .....

Shame you missed the eclipse in March... must have been frustrating realizing you'd left the lens cap on....

Cheers & thanks again for your COMMENTS.....

I like it, I think it's a realistic interpretation of the existence of astronomy within the greater London area in the circa 2007.  I especially like the use of daylight and night-time photography, added to the mono representation of night clouds and reflected light pollution.

It's a masterpiece.
