Dob Orion Nebula

[Chrissyo]

Inspired by Kens trap pics from the other day, I decided to give the orion nebula a go to see if the low light mode on my video camera could capture it. It does, only just. Also, it was made soooo much easier thanks to Netwolf who led me to the fantastic program WinDV (it really is so much easier to use than I thought it would be, and for some reason registax is able to process images captured in it faster than previously). Anyway, comments or suggestions? I was trying to bring out the gas in the nebula but I'm not fantastic at photoshop, so if anyone wants to give it a go, they are more than welcome to :)

very nice!!

a quick test - back off the zoom, get some more frames and see how much wide field nebula you can capture???

I did get a wild field avi of about 2700 frames. But last night was pretty cloudy, so it wasn't very good quality. I'll try again tonight if the clouds go away =)
