Ok, so with all the rain lately I thought I'd go back and reprocess one of my favourite objects, the Horsehead Nebula. This picture was taken on 16 January 2015 and is very heavily processed (to the extreme! :P), however it's not too shabby given that it's only using 4x 3min subs at ISO 1600 on a 200mm Canon lens ;) . I was piggybacking on my LX200 at the time.
Orion disappeared during winter before I could have a proper go at it. But it's at the top of my to do list once it rises again, at a reasonable hour of course, and when it's not freezing outside!
Quite a few dodgy artefacts :rofl:, however it looks pretty good when it's in TIF format.
Details:
Flame & Horsehead Nebula
Canon 600D with 200mm lens ISO 1600
Piggybacked on an 8inch LX200
4 x 180 sec exposures (un-guided)
Super-dooper heavy processing in Nebulosity & Photoshop.
Cheers
Evan
