A flame and a horse

[scagman]

Hi guys,

Taken over 4 nights in Dec and Jan. for a total of 10hr20mins, using a mix of 5,10 and 15 min subs.
Played with in PixInSight. Still learning what the workflow should be in PI.

Any comments/tips on processing or workflows much appreciated.

Thanks Bo,Kevin.

I'm very happy with it. Althou I have some tilt in the CCD I need to sort out then hopefully I'll get closer to acheiving those elusive round stars.

HI Jo, Thanks, Still learning how to process images. Having a lot of data to play with makes it easier I think.

Very, Very nice.

I also like the blooming around alnitak. Often this star is too much, but i like it here. :thumbsup:

[scagman]

Thanks Kosh.

Unfortunatly the blooming pointed out that my ccd isn't sitting square. So when i did a meridian flip and stacked the images, it showed 2 rings not concentric. So I'm tring to fix that. But means alnitak will go back to beening to much next time.:)

Cheers

hi John,

After looking at Rolf's image, I can see you've captured the shadow of the horse really well.
Nice work.
I think a repro is in order to bring out details that are hidden.

Cheers
