the fetus from 2 continents

[stargazer]

hi folks,

We are proudly presenting a collaborative result on the fetus-nebula.
Don Goldman+Paul Mortfield and me we have both posted our own results recently.
I used LRGB and Don+Paul mostly O3 and Ha and only a bit of RGB.
In my image the subtile small features of the nebula at around the
„head of the fetus (12h00) came out nicely and since LRGB data was
quite deep, so did the stars and the colors of the nebula, but lacking
of that O3-data of course.
Don’s and Paul's image however showed a lot of really cool stuff in O3 (which I
have never seen elsewhere). Don's purpose was also to add color to the
stars from very short RGB data which was not sufficiently deep for the
nebula as he said.
So, we agreed in throwing our ‚goods’ together and here we are:

we hope you folks like that as we do…*g*

best regards,
Dietmar, Don and Paul
