Hi Guys,

has anyone had any luck imaging this one? Asimov was close last night observing it with averted eye.

M42 blew me away how quickly the camera picked up the colour. Is the colour of this one similiar in intensity?

Like the lagoon, i was quite prepared in M42 to get a tinge of red, which i thought i would have to tease out in photoshop. Definately not the case.

thanks.

i am wondering that the huge difference i saw from my eye to the toucam, might be the same for the horsehead?

whereas lagoon or tarantula, i can see the clouds with the eye, but no colour with the toucam!

This link is probably more interesting to you Dave, specially if your going to attempt to find it!?
