M42 -wired

[Peter Ward]

For those liking a more electric look...

M42 in H-alpha

Nice pair of images Peter. My choice is for the done nothing shot. It just has a much more natural look to it with so big a field to look at it just melts accross the whole field without drawing the eye back to the centre all the time.
Great field of view.

big field of view - be very nice in colour - you must be happy with the test shot

[Peter Ward]

Thanks Doug, Dave.... yep the colour is not bad at all

More...eg RGB...data would have been nice... but the weather forecast does not bode well....

Gritty details: AP155 @ F5.3 with a custom AP supplied TCC-STX adapter.

To quote Gene Wilder (Young Frankenstein): " It's live!! "

Prefer the first rendition as the inner details were more pronounced but excellent work nonetheless. With the gear you have you need to seriously consider moving it to a dark sky obs where it will truly sing for you IMHO.

Thanks Marc.... the thought has crossed my mind more than once

However for narrow band (eg this image) you can shoot in a full moon with virtually no light pollution affects. Given our mainly urban population in Oz, I'm surprised more people are not out there capturing NB data...

Nice shoot, Peter.

Nicely processed image Peter. Yet another example of why you don't need colour all the time. Pure Ha images can be very impressive in their own right.

Cheers

Steve
