Another Target I spent a little time on with QHY = (Quenching-Harmonious-Yieldings ) 1st light from Leyburn's Bob'servatory.
This Orion is only quick grab, testing, would love to do bunch of longer exposures with a much wider field for the massive amount of fainter dust but at this F/L & max of 10min subs with a handful of shorter exposures for core, Im really impressed & stoked at the same time, in saying that, my processing can do with further attension/practice etc, but the responce of this camera is insane
Image collection: 3x60sec, 5x240secs & 10x600secs QHY-10 OSC
Gear: Neq6p, 10" F4.7 Newt, ED80 Guide with SSAG & Phd.
Process: Fitts into DSS with 32bit tiff output, some tweeks in CS3 before converting to 16bit for further refining.
Looks greatLovely colours. Glad it's coming together for you.

Cheers Erik, I think I owe it to the CCD eh, A quote from Sandy (White Rabbit) : "Having come from a DSLR to ccd myself, I can tell you, you won't regret it." Ya Not wrong Sandy

Cheers Rob, I cant say it enough, due to CCD chips, I'm actually liking this hobby now
HavagoodN !
You must have been up in the wee hours to capture that one this time of year!
A beauty of an image indeed Bob. Nice HDR work. image processing has worked out very well. I've got a similar FOV and are looking forward to doing Orion too. It looks ideal for printing onto a canvas, hung on the wall.
