peter shah Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) I love Dark Nebulae and The Large Molecular Cloud in Taurus has to be one of my favourites. This is a four panel mosaic featuring IC2087, IC2088 and NGC1539. Imaged remotely from Spain with the Epsilon 180ed and full format ZWO ASI2400MC Pro. Exposures were 45 x 300s for each panel. Processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop, this was a real challenge for noise control but to be fair it is dark stuff in a dark sky so I'll take it for what it is. Thanks for looking Peter Shah Edited September 30, 2022 by peter shah 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoflewis Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Simply superb Peter, but it does remind me of the leaden skies we've had here the last few weeks..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobdlbug Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Peter - just lovely image - I would love to image dark nebula and should give it a go - I saw an image from urban astronomer down in Bristol and he captured the Shrk from his city location - not easy but he did it. Your image is wonderful and really shows how much 'stuff' is actually out there in space Bryan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your image is wonderful and really shows how much 'stuff' is actually out there in space Bryan Yes I think I saw that one, Although a dark site benefits the dark stuff this particular region is actually quite bright possibly due to the underlying glow from stars. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this could be done from a site with a bit of LP Edited October 1, 2022 by peter shah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carastro Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I love this image and the processing, bringing out the glow behind the dark nebulae and yet keeping the sky background dark at the same time. I can see how massive it is as I did an image of this area, which I can just see peeping into the top right LBN782 which is tiny in comparison to this.
