Semi deep Orion

[astronobob]

Another Target I spent a little time on with QHY = (Quenching-Harmonious-Yieldings :P) 1st light from Leyburn's Bob'servatory.
This Orion is only quick grab, testing, would love to do bunch of longer exposures with a much wider field for the massive amount of fainter dust but at this F/L & max of 10min subs with a handful of shorter exposures for core, Im really impressed & stoked at the same time, in saying that, my processing can do with further attension/practice etc, but the responce of this camera is insane :eyepop:

Image collection: 3x60sec, 5x240secs & 10x600secs QHY-10 OSC
Gear: Neq6p, 10" F4.7 Newt, ED80 Guide with SSAG & Phd.
Process: Fitts into DSS with 32bit tiff output, some tweeks in CS3 before converting to 16bit for further refining.

Cheers Erik, I think I owe it to the CCD eh, A quote from Sandy (White Rabbit) : "Having come from a DSLR to ccd myself, I can tell you, you won't regret it." Ya Not wrong Sandy :thumbsup:

You must have been up in the wee hours to capture that one this time of year!

A beauty of an image indeed Bob. Nice HDR work. image processing has worked out very well. I've got a similar FOV and are looking forward to doing Orion too. It looks ideal for printing onto a canvas, hung on the wall.

Steve :thumbsup:

:eyepop: You're a natural Bob. Everything you touch turns into gold. :lol: GREAT colours. I don't usually lewisize my words but there's always a first. :P

[AG Hybrid]

I like the bright blue stars and the beautiful diffraction spikes. Very classic Hubble image like.

[Shiraz]

what a refreshingly original image - it's a ripper mate. Got that OSC really singing.

[nebulosity.]

Hey ThankYa much Ross. Moving forwards a little way mate :thumbsup:

Cheers for that and glad you like also Tony. I'm suprized at how bright the whole image came up, never was able to do that with a Dslr :thumbsup:

Hey, I reackon your right there Allen, more punch and truer colors. Thanx for taking the time and I appreciate you showing your adjustments, I had not really noticed the green tinge was still there as I also killed some off somewhat, yep. sometimes it takes some fresh eyes, Nice reply post :thanx:
