Noise still an obvious problem and probably a tad overcooked, but what the hey!!!:P

high res...

gday Doug

Now that is just great. Fantastic perspective as well. Gives a great idea of whats going on in the region.

Interesting dark nebula diagonally across the loop from M78 - I probably should know what that is but i dont.

Fantastic mate. It deserves to go straight to Daryl Kerrigans Pool Room Wall.

Doug,

Looking good.

Although, you need to punch the blues and greens up in the mid-tone to highlights region. There is an obvious bias towards red in the image.

Doug,

Doesn't look too over cooked to me. I like it a lot. Great work.

Great work and another interesting perspective of that part of the sky :thumbsup:

[Bassnut]

wow, I dont think Ive seen this view like this before, excellent, very dynamic.

[telemarker]

That is a beautiful vista! Shows the extent of the nebulosity of the Orion region. :thumbsup:

One small criticism - the trap in M42 is burnt :P:P;)

[AlexN]

Outstanding! You're really taking wide field to new heights Doug.. Loving your work...

Mark - That dark neb across the loop from M78 is LDN1622.. Given that it is classified as a dark nebula, its actually fairly bright.. Easily imaged from dark skies..

Nice work Dougie. ;)

Wow there is so much going on out in space! It certainly is not the empty void we imagine it to be.

Thanks Gentlemen:thumbsup::thumbsup:



Cheers H - I've tweaked the high res version with your comments in mind and also tried to get on top of the noise issue without getting that unnatural look (hopefully)

Thanks Craig - how's things? It's gonna be winter by the time you get the Tak out again!;)


Cheers Rob - it's the first time I've used the 70-200mm f4L lens on the night sky for just under a year!! I'm pretty happy with it's performance...it's a classy piece of glass!:P
