Barnard Loop Ha 100mm widefield

[multiweb]

This is the other picture I took that wet Saturday night. Again same rig. QHY9, Ha 7nm and SMC Pentax-M 100mm f2:8 at full aperture. Subs were 12x10min, stacked in CCD Stack and processed in PS CS5.

I did a plate solve here (https://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pWBL7sr1lNzkV7mxfdQTuCiDka1TKbEIR FSITqcmJxrrIwR6dGiCCpHw7g2pvoQb8X_u VVaqO96aG6TMRsDzvSw/barnard_ha_100mm_ff_T.jpg?psid=1)an d there's big version here (https://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pLDFImdpIF9nMGtREsOCj4bY5Pj9yA4U9 3hWcp4E-tT-On61EHNTqBHvSSoSMSlQH4J5kgefrRjT82T i-Jb8p5Q/barnard_ha_100mm_ff.jpg?psid=1).

I like that one because it's got a bit of depth and details. Will try again with a 50mm lens same camera and I should be able to get the whole loop. :)

Thanks Peter. :thumbsup: You should be able to cover that field in super high-res pretty quickly with your new light bucket.


Thanks Trent. :thumbsup:


Thanks Alan. :thumbsup: True - pleasantly surprised after going splish splosh in the dark all night. :)


Thanks a lot Jason. :thumbsup:


Thanks Paul. :thumbsup:


Thanks David. Yes - hopefully I won't lose two much resolution.



Thanks Marco :thumbsup: Yeah it's a real cool spot in widefield. Loads of Ha.

Good stuff Marc, you love this Ha B&W stuff huh? When I started in AP back in 82 we mostly did B&W so looking at your work makes me nostalgic :)...of course Unless you had a Schmidt camera we generally weren't going as deep with the amateur equipment we used then.

Thanks Mike. :thumbsup: Yeah I love Ha but it's an acquired taste. I enjoy colour too but I need to move to dark skies for it. Awaiting the next El Niño.



Thanks for looking Louie. :thumbsup:

Looking good. :)

Nice work.

I am a big fan of Ha images as well. They seem very dramatic and I love the tonal range and contrast.

Lovely image. Well done.
