Horsehead revisited

[leinad]

Taken at ASWA Tammin site.
6 x 10min ISO800
VC200L F/6.4
Canon 40D modified.

Spent most of the night fiddling with collimation, tracking, exp times, and test shots.

A slight noise problem due to bad drks, but overall happy with the test results.

Definitely gotta hit IC434 with a several hrs of good data and some Ha, just love this Neb. :)

Looks pretty good for a hours worth..:thumbsup:
Can just make out the curtain in IC 434 which isn`t easy with a DSLR. Yes more hrs worth and it will be real pleasing!
cheers

Nice Dan whats the processing process

[leinad]

Thanks for the comments.

For the processing Trev, stacked in DSS processed in PS.
Toughest process was trying to get the right colour balance using curves and levels.

I'm not sure if the trail in the shot id wavy due to the satellite tumbling or guiding being at play.
