Greetings all. I captured this image of B33 and co while camping near Murgon this week. Had to contend with strong winds and high temps,but the sky was so dark! A roaring jetstream meant pretty average seeing but clarity was excellent.Cheers to the Heq5 pro for performing in less than ideal conditions also! details-14x600sec, iso400,DSS,PS4. thanks for looking:)

I'd be very happy to own that shot. Nice work. Does seem to be quite a bit of noise in there still for length of exposure my only other comment.

Darrell, given the circumstances you mention this is a fine image. Flame is nicely defined. Colour balance looks on the money. Could perhaps been a little more aggressive on the noise reduction, but overall its a great result. Well done.

Not bad at all Darrell. Nice focus and tracking considering :thumbsup:

I'll echo every other post so far...

Good job... Next time you shoot the area, given your field of view, i would try to put alnitak half way down the frame, and 1/5th of the way in from the edge.. that way you should get all of the flame, and most of the horse heads southern-most areas..

Great work in trying conditions...

Murgon is a great place for astro imaging, there is no doubt about that.. A good mate of mine owns something like 190 acres up that way for cattle.. I've put in an offer on a small 3 acre section of the land that he doesn't use.. Hopefully this means its observatory time for me soon!

Thanks everyone for your comments,thay are very much appreciated. I expected to be slautered on this one because of bad framing and deafening noise levels,but everytime I post something,the feedback I get is invaluable. As an amature at astroimaging,i'm always looking to others for advice and guidance,so thanks for sharing your knowledge and time.cheers!:thumbsup:

Keep 'em coming Darryl!
I don't think there's anyone in here that would say they've got no more to learn from the IIS community....

Terrific job Darryl :thumbsup: Nicely processed.

Get yourself a free download of Noiseware Community Edition it's quick and easy for beginners and does a good job in reducing noise.

The default setting worked pretty well on your image. ( hope you don't mind)
