bit of this and that
I was going to wait a while longer but it seems with the moon on the rise and melbournes weather going wet, nows a good a time as any.
image 1 is the core of m42 and m43 , a part of a project in midstream a mosaic of m42 (image 2)currently requiring more data particularly the lower half of the pic, the weather and work commitments will probably see this on finished in January.i have overused unsharp masking slightly to bring out the detail in the wispy sections, i will re-edit this from scratch when more data is available as i would like to push it fairly hard.
image 3 is the well known carinae nebula, 10x subs 3min on 12 inch newt.
image 4 is a section of the large magellanic clouds core, not a brilliant pic but interesting for all the small globular clusters in it.
image 5 is a pixel for pixel crop of ngc 1769 (the one to lower left) also in the large magellanic cloud
finally image 6 ngc 1365
all images were taken with the g11 and 12 inch newt and a minimum of 7 exposures usually at 6 min. The orion shots are subs of 360 sec going down in one stop increments to 5 seconds
