Orion Widefield - Ha

[Ryderscope]

Image captured with my widefield rig, the ASI6200 and Canon EF200mm f2.8 lens. The Ha only data has captured so much detail I figured that it was worth publishing on its own.

Clear skies,

He he...look mum!..no stars :P

I always love the waves or dunes that show up in Ha in this patch of sky, magnificent :thumbsup:

It looks great as is (even without the stars :poke:) the final colour version (with stars :whistle:) should look quite something :thumbsup:

Really lovely work, that spot is an absolute mecca for objects and FOV to shoot.
Definitely a project on my own bucket list as well.
Can't wait to see your final result.

That's terrific. Love the richness of all the folds of the Ha areas.

Many thanks. I admit to being drawn to detailed Ha images. The greyscale presentation can add another dimension that is sometimes absent in colour.

Rodney,
Mind boggling detail !!!
Love the Horsehead in front all that nebulosity too , a nice little statement
Cracker of an image !!

Thanks for that Martin. I do admit to being drawn the detailed Ha greyscale images as we can take in much more detail that we would otherwise.

This is just amazing. The b/w ha detail in this region draws you right in. I’m really not sure if it would still retain this effect in colour but I’m interested to see the finished project!

Awesome image Rodney. The folds of HA are breathtaking

[Ryderscope]

Thanks Dave & Kuz. With some deep sky objects I feel that the Ha presentation stands alone very well and can be appreciated on its own merits without being seen as pathway to a final HaRGB version. Each presentation can have its own character and bring a unique perspective to the object.

CS,
Rodney

Wow.. agree that's great as-is. Could proudly hang that on the wall in mono on metallic paper.

Well done Rodney. That is just Dreamy :thumbsup:

Best

silky smooth - nice one Rodney.

[Ryderscope]

Thanks Andrew, JA, Russell. Getting the Ha to come through well in the RGB version is a bit of a challenge. That's the fun of the hobby though :)

[strongmanmike]

Have you got the RGB already??...I'm really looking forward to seeing this..exciting :D:thumbsup:

Living vicariously through others ATM :sadeyes: :lol:

[Ryderscope]

Yep, just about finished. I'm at the endless fiddling stage and must stop soon :D



I'm sure that once the new obs is up and running there will be so much data it will be hard to keep on top of it all :2thumbs:
