Orions Sword completed

I managed to get out on Fri and Sat nights, man Saturday night was HOT, it was so hot even the mighty ProLine with its super cooling couldn't get the chip to -35 until 11pm, even at 10pm it was still 29 deg

Anyway I grabbed several hours more each of Lum and Ha and added it to the previous data set giving a total exposure time of 12.5hrs for LHaRGB

The extra data has brought out significantly more detail particularly in the outer faint nebulosity.

As usual, you can click on any of the following images once they open and you will see a few other different versions of the data set

Small 40% size, full frame image 1.3meg: http://www.pbase.com/strongmanmike20...72333/original

Bigger 66% size, full frame image to have more of a surf around 2.5meg:

and this is my favourite bit :

That'll do now on the great nebula I think...? Not sure the field is big enough to bother gathering any more data, lots to see in there already

Cheers
