Horsehead and flame

[SimmoW (SIMON)]

Hopefully this might be my last image posted before I take delivery of a new Sony A7s.

What a beautiful object this is, I could image it for days. But instead, I had to image between 3 discrete cloud coverages, for only 2mins at a time, for a total of 36 mins, at ISO 640. As I lost guiding all 3 times, the images moved quite a bit, so I was pleased that pixinsight coped well with the star alignment.

Tried the Canon Banding script too, it worked really well compared to the original.

As usual, goto Flickr for the better rez version.

looks good to me Simon.
would love to see a comparo of the same framing and exposure time with the a7s!

There's a lot of horse there for 36 minutes! I'm also hanging out for an A7s comparison.

[SimmoW (SIMON)]

Thanks Kevin. Package is now in Dubai, one last big leg to go!

[Camelopardalis (Dunk)]

Nice one Simon! Could you do a 36 minute with the A7S for comparison?

[SimmoW (SIMON)]

Yep, that's the plan Dunk. A direct comparison will be ideal.

Nice work, Simon. Those big stars are difficult to tame!

That's a top shot Simon. Really well done.
