Description

This is an image of the Fireworks Galaxy, more correctly named NGC 6946. I created it by combining three FITS files (blue, green and red) and manipulating them until they produced the image above. It's not nearly as easy as it sounds, and it didn't help that the stupid program kept crashing whenever I asked too much of it. *mutter mutter*

Nevertheless, I achieved something - yays! Colour is so much more pretty than black and white when you're looking at stars ^^

Hi Hannah, this is Tori from parkour ages ago! I found your page through Tim! This is awesome :D I tried my hand at star photography for a while with long exposures, and then got a Nikon DSLR but I haven't aquired any filters or a remote for this kind of photography but seeing this, it's reinspired me to try again (now that I have a part time job I might invest in some more equipment) :D I love the soft pastel-y colour, and the texture, this is so pretty!!! :D
