Le Cheval noir
No much to say, some data from yesterday ( a rare clear night  ) added to some from last season's horsies. Perhaps this summer the weather will allow some colour !

Thanks.
The AO-X wasn't plugged in....I'm having a few issues with a new Toshiba Tecra, SkyX and windows 8.1 hence couldn't be bothered re-connecting it last night.

Hi, Peter, the "steam" rising is wonderful. The horses stamping, their warm breath clouding, in the sharp and frosty dawning of the day. And the astrophotographer lifts his pen.

Superb! Its very 3D. You don't often see an astro image that shows depth but this one does.

Stunning amount of intricate detail Peter. One can spend a long time exploring this image and still keep finding interesting stuff.
Geoff.
Slightly off-topic, but do you have any problems with RBI on the 16803 chip?

Thanks Geoff. The STX actually has a user selectable pre-flash mode. However while I typically run the camera at -30C. I've not had the need to use pre-flash.

Ta Greg....I tweaked it a bit more since the initial upload..the current version has a bit more contrast.

Very nice horse there Peter. The detail looks almost as good as R Jay Gabany's effort.
Cheers

Interesting detail. Me thinks you have happened across processing technique to draw out detail. It looks similar to some solar images I see from time to time. Very effective and as Steve points out, looks like Jay's rendition.
BTW I like it.
