How Deep is your Love - I love the Orion area from IISAC2009

I took this on the Friday night/well technically Saturday morning of ISSAC2009 and while it is only 2 hours worth of imaging it has given me a goal to get many more hours of this next month when it is in the sky for longer. taken with a modded canon 20D, canon f2.8 200mm L lens ISO 800 and a stack of 3 minute shots. Entirely processed in Pixinsight - only resized in photoshop for here. the sky conditions were challenging - a clear but boiling atmosphere made auto guiding a challenge. Scintillation saw my earlier efforts of Pleiades a waste of time.


i will be doing several "Sidonio's" (ok for those that done know - reprocessing ) of this
by the way - I processed this under Duress of Mike Sidonio, RB, Fred V and a few others watching over my shoulder - they were pretty quiet - i must have done something wrong LOL

Aye, T'is good to be trying a fixed camera lens. I am about to try one myself soon, had to go the medium format route though, given a CFW and CCD. Pentax 6x7 for me, a 200/4 and a 55/4. Nice work Dave.

Ok seeing you mentioned it, here is some more duress - a Sidonio of your image by...?..Sidonio

As I said at IISAC this is a great image as it is and you have picked up a lot of faint stuff in there

I had a play with it though but like I said to Doug, please trash it if ya dunna like it or doing this annoys you

Nice one Dave. Doesn't look like I disturbed you too much in my visits to your spot that night. There was a lot of banter from H's spot though - mostly from Mike & Fred et al, which added to the fun atmosphere of the event. The 6303 went very well over my way as it turns out.

cheers

Yeah thanks for that Guy. had to be a victory in that weekend somehow. the show was a special event as well, many people pay huge amounts of money for slapstick standup comedy like that

Thanks Frank - my first effort was literally processed on the spot after downloading, just to see what i had in the image. Will be a work in progress for me for some time to get it right.
