Emil Ivanov, I'm fascinated by your sparklingly colorful Heart and Soul Nebulae! I visited your homepage and found some very nice images there.

Scott Johnson, that's a fine portrait of the Andromeda galaxy. I particularly like how the background is so incredibly starry. That's a reminder of how "deep" you have to go, and how many background stars you have to capture, to get an image like this. Of course I like all the emission nebulae you have imaged in Andromeda, too!

Adam, it's always good to have you back with a galaxy image! You know that I always like your colors. In this image, I like how the inner part of the galaxy is so "grainy" and full of small individual points of light, which, expecially given the pink color of many of the "dots", certainly signifies star formation. Other parts of the galaxy are relatively smooth, such as the lower bright arm, and in spite of its blue color it is probably made up mostly of intermediate aged stars. Thank you for this fine galaxy portrait!

M42 Orion Nebula in RGB + Narrowband by Terry Hancock, on Flickr
The Hancock & D'arienzo team presents Andy's D'arienzo's version of M42, The Orion Nebula in the constellation Orion. Andy shot 3 hours and 40 minutes of hydrogen alpha + 3.5 hours of 0III using his FLI ML8300 Mono CCD on his TMB92SS Refractor at F4.4 from the Waning Crescent Observatory in Long Island New York, while I shot 2.5 hours of RGB using the Canon 5D Mark II at F7 on the TMB 130 Refractor from the DownUnder Observatory in Fremont, Michigan.
We each do our own processing when it comes to combining and post processing in photoshop using slightly different techniques.
This is a very different perspective combining narrow band imaging with RGB on one of the most photographed and spectacular Nebulae in the winter night sky.
We hope you like this version.
Clear Skies
Terry & Andy
