Orion and Horse time of year again.

Here's the last of the data captured last weekend. I didn't get too much data as I knew the moonlight was going to wash it out a bit, but as I was up and with little choice of targets at the time, I thought I would throw a few together.

Horsehead is 8 x 20 min exposures, darks and flats subtracted.

Orion is 4 x 15 min, 3 x 5 min, 2 x 90sec and 1 x 30 sec.

The reason I took these varying exposure lengths was that Orion is has such a range of very dim to very bright and i was hoping by stacking them I would get the full range. Not so I feel, as I still burned out the core. Hmmmm.

Taken with ED120 and Orion Starshoot Pro DSI III OS colour CCD.

Stacked and subtracted in MaxIm DL Essentials, PP in Photoshop elements 6.
