Astrophotography

Hi Jeff. Thanks for the compliments. But I don't want your heart to go Pitter-patter very much. We need it to go normal so you can get back in the groove.

Aubrey, you have earned bragging rights on this one. I really don’t think I have ever seen better, and I looked! Star clusters are generally sort of “If you’ve see one, you have seen them all.” but this is magnificent. The color differential is amazing. You make my heart go pitter-patter with this image.

Thanks Dean. I might see if I can get this published in Reflector.

Aubrey,

You did a marvelous job of capturing the difference between the new
(blue) stars in the open cluster and the old (yellow) stars in the globular cluster. You were wise to make the center of your field the midpoint between the globular and the stronger concentration in the open cluster, making both clusters prominent in the photo. This vividly shows the difference of what are classically called Population I (new) stars and Population II (old) stars. Belongs in a text book!!

Thanks Johnny. It took me a long time to get there. It is fun to see what you can spot in the images beyond the primary target.

One aspect I like about your photos is the sharpness of detail. It allows the viewer to enlarge the photo, going beyond the obvious. Looking deep into the photo I see what appears to be doubles, triples and a variatable popuriee of patterns. Great photo.

Thanks all for the compliments. For the record and I am not trying to brag, I compared this image with one of the exact images on the APOD site and they were the same in both color and detail.

Very nice work, Aubrey. I like the contrasting colors and the overall richness if the field.

Very nice resolution and color.
