Orion Area

[multiweb]

Here's 7 panels I did a while ago while testing the hyperstar collimation. Shot in the vicinity of M42. This mosaic consists of 7 panels, each stacks of 10x30s. I obviously missed one. I honestly can't remember if it's Ha or straight Lum. I suspect Lum given the number of stars. I used the QHY9 mono.

There's a bigger pic here (https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=6930D3AD12D5044C&id=6930D3AD12D5044C%21863#cid=6930D 3AD12D5044C&id=6930D3AD12D5044C%211330).

Finally got around doing a bit of processing so I should be able to post the Eridanus loop I shot from Coona in November. It's been a while. Thanks for looking. :thumbsup:

Lots of stuff going on in the "background" there, Marc!

Nice Marc!

Looks like the orion nebula floating on ocean waves.

Cheers,

Justin.

A wonderful image Marc. So much going on in that area.

Oh boy!
That's wonderful Marc.
I love how you blokes pushing the boundaries with what we now
have available to us all...can let me see objects like this anew!

Brilliant

Great image Marc! Another seamlessly stitched mosaic - you are fast becoming the mosaic guru! I don't recall seeing the faint nebulosity to this extent; fascinating to see M42 in this larger context and makes one realise that there is a lot more to the Orion Molecular Complex than just the bright showcase regions.

Top effort Marc, will be great when completed, I wish i had the talent to do that stuff.

Beautiful mosaic and very interesting too. Amazing how much really goes on in the background there! Great work as usual :)

This is a fantastic effort Marc - really draws you in. Hope you get the last panel. Heck I hate Dec/Jan Qld weather. Just once I'd like free rein to look at Orion properly :mad2:

Thanks Rick. :thumbsup: Yeah Orion is very rich in dust and Ha.


Thanks Justin. :thumbsup: Yes it does look like waves, and jets.


Thanks Larry. :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot Greg. :thumbsup:

Thank you very much Steve. :thumbsup: I was actually surprised by the amount of data in such short exposures.


Thanks David. :thumbsup: I hope to add some more pane;s towards the HH if weather permits.


Thanks Leon. :thumbsup: I learnt heaps from you at the begining.


Thanks al lot Rolf. Too kind. :thumbsup:



Thanks Rob. :thumbsup: I can imagine it has been pretty hectic in QLD. Weather's been far too hot and uncertain here in Sydney to do anything productive as well.

Hi Marc,

Amazing detail, especially from such short exposures.

Looking forward to your Eridanus photo.

Ross.

Thanks Ross. :thumbsup: Eridanus is a bit of a disaster actually. I didn't get enough signal even with coona dark skies and all the data I collected so it's proving a challenge to process and stretch.
