Orions Belt

[malp]

Caught this finally before it descends behind our house in the next few weeks, my second capture on a newly acquired Tak FSQ106EDXIII, with the Art 11002 camera cls filtered. An expanse of stars in Orions Belt with various nebulae visible. 16x5min subs in cls and 5x10min in Ha with Bias, Darks and Flats subtracted. Flats captured on my computer LCD screen:

Imaging from London means I normally attempt narrowband only. This is a cls capture on a particularly (for here) clear night of 7.3.10. Note: Ha added from 9.3.10.

Hi Malcolm,
That's a fantastic image from London. I could only try to imagine the Light pollution over there. You should be very pleased with this one.

Cheers:thumbsup:

Hi Malcolm, that is a very good image, and from your location = exceptional.

All the best.

That is a terrific shot regardless of location or conditions. :thumbsup: You've got the rig to go with it and it shows. :)
