Repro Mania pt 2 - Horsehead region

[DJScotty]

And now the Horsie

[strongmanmike]

A good result there Scott. To me though and like the Orion Nebula, the HH doesn't seem to suite narrowband :question: at least I've never seen a rendition I really liked anyway. Still, well done regardless, everything is worth a try and a looksee and that I enjoyed :thumbsup:

Thanks Mike for your feedback.
It's not narrowband though HaRGB just not traditional.

[strongmanmike]

Ah...well, that'd be the same with your M42 then :question:...your palette choice is just very similar to that which NB imparts to both regions I guess.

[DJScotty]

That's correct.
Like Andy i am trying to experiment a little bit with colours but trying to get the technical aspects of data collection spot on.
Like I said it's not true rgb but I couldn't get the traditional look to work artistically.
I have my 10 inch newtonian almost perfectly collimated now. Just waiting for clear skies.
Once again thanks Mike

Looks a cracker, Scott :thumbsup: the palette makes it look like a warm log fire, with an astro theme :D

[DJScotty]

Thanks dunk. Just perfect for these cold brisbane summer evenings!

[Placidus]

The artist in me really likes this image.

[DJScotty]

Greatly appreciated mnt.
I firmly believe that this is as much art as it is science!

Looking for a sponsorship from Fanta, Scott? :) Actually looks quite nice though the RGB purist in me feels a little queasy :lol:

Cheers,
Rick.

[DJScotty]

Thanks Rick. Fanta? No. Epson printer inks? Yes! :lol:
Going to have a crack at a more conventional rgb palette soon blending ha and red.

I think that is one of the better fields of view for the Horsehead. Interesting experiment with the colour. It looks like you got some nice data there.

greg.

[DJScotty]

Thanks greg. Greatly appreciated. I have almost set up my 150 to 500 mm lens properly so should be able to get some decent fovs with that.

A very nice image Scott - a significant improvement over the original version IMO. Please keep them coming!

[DJScotty]

Thanks very much suavi.
I will do my best. Won't make any snide comments about the crappy weather!:lol:

[Slawomir]

The skies look clear at the moment...and it is a new moon :eyepop:
