[Ross G]

Hello,

More "imaginary" DeepSkyScapes.

An "artistic" impression in Ha of the Horse Head Nebula and Barnard's Loop setting in the Mudgee-Coonabarabran region of NSW.

"Sky Layer" photographed with Nikon 180mm F2.8 lens with Ha filter on QHY9 mono CCD.
"Terrestrial Layer" photographed with Sony a550 DSLR and Minolta 70-210 F4 lens.

Image processed with Deep Sky Stacker and Photoshop CS2.

What do you think?

Thanks for looking.

Ross.

Thanks Carlos.

It has been fun doing these photos so I'm definitely taking it further.

I still have a couple more in this series and although they are a bit rough, what I have learned doing them will help me refine the next lot.

Strewth Ross, that's a very engaging image. It will surely start a lot of people thinking and tinkering. Me included.

Cool. It's nice to imagine that there could be somewhere in the universe that actually has that view!
