Hello everyone,
I regret that I have decomissioned our (Don Goldman and I) observatory in Moorook. Even though I will be without your wonderful southern skies (for awhile) I enjoy this forum very much and will continue to post here if you don't mind.
I have been absent for awhile but have managed to finally image a target that has long been on my list. I know you have seen a million of these but I think you may find this one a bit different.
I have been learning the wonders of HDR pro and HDR tonal adjustments in CS5 and am amazed at there power. I have combined three different contrast adjusted images with two different decons (positive constraint and MaxE) and then used the MSDLB. I have been attending an online CS5 class and have learned about these wonderful tools.
Notice the Herbig-Haro objects around and within NGC2023 that blending in 8 hours of Ha helped make pop. Zoom and pan around at the details of this dusty steed.

Thanks for taking the time to look . . .
Kindest Regards,
