I,m sooo bored!!! Thors Helmet repro.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne]

Boy the weather has been lousy!!!:shrug:

Managed a whole 4 minutes last night before the clouds rolled in.:rolleyes:

So here's another repro.
Thor's helmet, don't think a can squeeze any more out of this image. There's more faint background nebulosity evident in this rendition. Handled the stars a little better this time, still difficult to control.

Here's a link to the original.

That's lovely, and yes better.

Weather was fine when I set up the scope tonight, but like you got 10 minutes and now cloud. :mad2:

Thanks Kevin!

Cheers,

Justin.

I think somewhere in between both would work really well. There are positive aspects to each image. I some of the colour in the first image and like the stars in this one.

The cloud is getting a little monotonous Justin. Average clear nights have gone from once a week to once a fortnight-three weeks now. So I am like you, getting bored. I did install a weather station yesterday at home; just to keep me interested.:)

Thanks for your input Paul!:thumbsup:

I've been spoiled the previous two winters, making up for it with plenty of cloud and not much rain.
Mind you had some clear moon filled nights.:shrug:

Cheers,

Justin.

I'm putting my full spectrum Nikon back into astro next clear full moon for Ha. Just need to get an interval timer for it.

Great image Justin.

4 minutes - luxury! I haven't taken my scope out for 3 weeks now.

Nice one Justin. Thor's helmet is quite small isn't it???? You've picked up some nice detail and colour.
