Environs of Orion's belt

Wha?!?! An image from Jase that isn't from a rental scope... lol.

Greetings,
Yes, thought I'd test the waters and make sure I'm still made of the "right stuff" ...who am I kidding... More importantly, being able to convert to produce reasonable results. Will be honest though, I did have some fun planning the execution of this image. It is however a real quick image with weak data - only 6 hours worth. I created a synth lum to compensate for this, and finished with subtle noise reduction. Didn't both chasing chip defects, just wasn't worth the effort.

(Image is 50% reduced as its simply too big for web display. Full size is great on a print however).

OK, I lied, who cares about a measly FSQ four panel mosaic anyway...bring on the big boys stuff...here's a couple of recent images from the Lightbuckets 24" RC...Yeah! Now that's what I'm talking about... 4.8 metres of pure justice compared to a "wimpish" 530mm.

Not going to get into any depth on the processing used - apologies. You've heard it all anyway. In this instance, its the destination, not the journey. So just enjoy them for what they're worth...

Cheers
