Excellent image, Ian-you have captured Barnards Loop and the North Orion Bubble in great detail :thumbsup:

[IanP]

Thanks Laurie,
:thanx:

The 50mm (Canon EF 50 F1.4) lens I used for this image is my favorite.
Not only it's optically very good but it also produces spikes (8-arm) on brighter stars ..

That is a very nice image Ian :thumbsup:

My attempt turned out quite like your first try, is it just the added Ha that made the difference?

What filter and exposure time did you use?

Cheers

Can’t be another way ..


I used Astronomik clip-in Ha (12) filter.
The exposure time was 2-3min.

Very nice, Ian. That's an area of the sky that has so much to offer at many different scales. Lovely to see Barnard's Loop so clearly.

[IanP]

Thanks Rick,
:thanx:
Sometimes the big scale can be as challenging as the small scale ..

Wow! Barnard's Loop - that's a real sight to behold. Well done.
