Orion 9/12

[jjjnettie]

A very quick Orion.
Only 3x5 minutes, shot during the last sucker hole of Thursday night. :P
Canon 550D
Canon Nifty 50 @ iso 400 and F3.5
Darks taken, no flats.
Stacked in DSS and processed in CS3.

15 minutes......it's only a small taste and it's made me hungry for more. :lol: I'm starved for data.

Hey, I have just come back from an allnighter and earlyier in the night I was showing a guest of the property owners this under dark skies, this shot would have been a useful image to show him so he could get the hunter bit :thumbsup:

:eyepop: Really like that one. Great colors and spot on focus. :thumbsup: tried to do the barnard loop last night in Ha. Similar framing. Hope it comes as good as this.

[RickS]

Wow!

[batema]

Very nice JJJ. Please bring on some fine weather.

[wasyoungonce]

You know what..I love this pic...I keep coming back to look at it.

Just love the FOV & colours.

I cannot wait to try something like this myself!;)

Love that image, jjj. Betelgeuse has always been my favourite star, and Orion my favourite constellation.
Looking forward for more images :D

Cheers, Luis.

[jase]

Very cool. Enjoyed the soft colour rich stars emphasising the constellation. Well done JJJ.

[niko]

Gorgeous image jjjjjjjjjj....

there's certainly something magical about widefields.

I also love it because it highlights nicely the canoe that northern Australian Aboriginal people see in this constellation rather than orion as warrior. The 3 stars of the "belt" are 3 brothers in the canoe and the nebula is the fish trailing on a line beside.

When I was younger I used to see a dagger there :D

Cheers, Luis.

[Screwdriverone]

Thats a ripper Jeanette,

Can even see the flame and the HH in the middle.

Lots to look at, spectacular framing, thanks for posting.

Cheers

Very nice JJ, starting to bring out a lot of the detail in the area. Starved for data seems to be the norm for most of us.
Last night was lovely here but alas I was on night shift again. Bugger work.

[dugnsuz]

Beautiful star colours jjj - and nicely framed too.
Pushing those subs will bring out Barnard's loop.

[CometGuy]

Nicely Done jjj,

I can see Barnards loop in there as well, not bad at all.

[RobF]

Wow, that's really looking great Jeanette!
I love the soft look of the brightest stars.

[jjjnettie]

Cheers Rob.
I have high cloud to thank for the soft look.
I liked it so much I've ordered more in. They had plenty in stock. :cloudy:
:rofl:

[gregbradley]

This image has a very nice feel about it.

I wonder if that yellow star has a trail of yellow gas like Antares does.

Greg.

[Octane]

Hey, when did you get an FSQ? :)

Lovely, just lovely.

Oh, to image again. August was the last time.
