Orion Wide Field, second try.

[nebulosity. (Jo)]

Now that I got my camera cooled I thought I'd try Orion again and see if I could get it any better, not sure.

Anyway, 120x160 sec subs at Iso 1600, 350D. Lens, Nikon 50mm at f8.

Cheers
Jo

Wow! You've got the witch head neb and everything! I think that's the best Orion wide field I've seen.

[Larryp (Laurie)]

Great result!

Thanks Kevin, but I certainly haven't given this area justice, hopefully when I get more experience...

No doubt about it, that 350d is working a treat!

Good stuff Jo!

Great colours too.

Cheers,

Justin.

[AstroJason (Jason)]

Wow very nice result! I like that a lot. Well done

[tel.lekatsas (Tel)]

That is a beautiful image. Lots of wispy stuff. Any chance of a link to a fullsize version?

Thanks Justin Yeah I'm really happy with the camera, it's amazing what faint stuff you can pick up, a few months ago I was pleased to capture a mag 8 globular and now I'm imaging galactic cirrus in the Hyades

I didn't put up a large version because I thought it was a pretty poor image but I'm planing a three panel mosaic of this area with the 85mm lens on new moon which I hope should work out nice so I'll be putting up a big version then.

Nice work Jo. would be interesting to sit down and see how many objects you have captured in this image. Excellent job !

[Jon (Jonathan)]

Lovely. You can just make out the Horsehead as a notch in IC434

[rcheshire (Rowland)]

Nice one Jo.

[kosh]

It's amazing to see just how much there is in that part of the sky. Good job Jo.

[alistairsam]

That's very nice Jo.
is this with the mono 350d or a colour one? are you using rgb filters if its the mono.
a link to it in astrobin would be good.
what did you cool it down to?

Cheers

Thanks Rex, Jon, Rowland, Kosh and Alistair,

I've got the colour sensor in my 350D at the moment as I don't have any RGB or NB filters.

Not sure what the sensor temp was, probably around -10.

cheers
Jo

Beautiful. Well worth the effort on that shot.

That's really nice.
I find with my 50mm lens that the skyglow washes out all the detail in the nebulosity. I must be doing something wrong. A wider lens helps a bit.
Well done!

Hi Jo, very nice shot! Lots of interesting objects there. Just shows what you can do with a std camera lens and lots of time. How come a Nikon lens on a Canon camera? Obviously it comes to focus OK. Is it just a simple lens adapter. Some like my Minolta-Eos adapter will not focus to infinity.
Cheers, Ross...
