War & Peace + Cat Paw ha widefield

[multiweb]

Here's my last one. Centered on the cat paw. Approx. 2h with a baader Ha 7nm and 200mm SMC Pentax-M.

Bigger field [80%] here (https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=6930d3ad12d5044c&ref=1&id=6930D3AD12D5044C%21863&sff=1#cid=6930D3AD12D5044C&id=6930D3AD12D5044C%21921). I believe the little line at 2 o'clock from the cat paw might be the bug nebula (?)

Fantastic photo Marc. There is so much detail in this shot.

24/7 astro imaging...you never stop!


Thanks.

Thanks Ross. :thumbsup: This one was taken a little while ago. Just found it last night. I forgot about it. It was far enough from the moon at the time so the dust lanes are a bit more defined along with the very dark bits.

Very nice Ha shot there Marc and you are correct about that being the bug nebula.

Cheers

Nice stuff Marc, hope to get into CCD one day. Need a budget and money from the financial controller.

[CoolhandJo]

Wow very nice!

[DavidU]

Very nice ! It looks like the 200mm SMC is a keeper.

This turned out really well Marc.
Nicely processed.
Agree, that lens is perfect!

Thanks for looking Steve - glad you liked it. :thumbsup:


No worries JJJ. Thanks a lot. You're the one who inspired me. :thumbsup:


Thanks mate. :thumbsup: You can do the same with a DSLR with a clip-on filter I think. Canon does have them.


Thanks Paul. :thumbsup:

Thanks Rich. :thumbsup: Yeah I was pleasantly surprised. I knew the image scale would be nice because I saw (another) Richard's shots but I wan't expecting a flat field out of the box. The real test will be this week-end in RGB from Crago.

Thanks for the comment Steven. :thumbsup:

Gee Marc,that is a super effort mate,

Another interesting mozaic

You and Greg should team up like the 200" Palomar and the 48" Palomar Schmidt - you guys could survey the heavens very effectively :thumbsup:

Thanks Louie. :thumbsup: Yeah nice and wide with a bit of res still.

Thanks a lot Leon. :thumbsup:

Thanks Mike. :thumbsup: I think that with all the pictures taken on IIS we could cover the whole sky many times.

That's a beauty Marc. That is a similar FOV to the FSQ and reducer which is very handy.

That would make a good HaRGB image.

Greg.

Thanks mate. I'll try some color this Saturday see how it turns out. :thumbsup:
