The Great Orion Nebula

[TrevorW]

Taken last night over 1 hrs data in
19 60s frames
16 330s frames

Stacked DSS (with 9 darks, 9 flats)
DBE in Pixinlight
Processed in CS3 using shadows/highlights etc tried not too drown it in red/pink hues

Took this one with my WO F2 reducer in place however there was a large reflection artifact induced which I tried to remove

Still not happy might have to go back over data when more time seems to be a lot of noise present

Good one Trev! Bit noisy in places but you got loads of details in the surrounding neb and nicely resolved the core. Very nice.

[Mighty_oz (Marcus)]

Gotta love all that detail there, lovely shot

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Lovely pic Trevor.

[CoolhandJo (Paul)]

The Core tlooks great. THe Orion displayes a difference for everybody! Your shot is a nice one also (has more of an orange hue)

[Prickly]

Theres so much detail around this object isnt there Trevor and you've managed to capture a lot of it. The core details look good and not burnt out and the stars are nice and sharp.

For noise the program noise ninja is very good. A surface blur in PS2 can also help.

Cheers
David

Thanks guys had another go but more subdued prefer this actually even though still not right

Hi Trevor,
just curious....last night a little bit hazy (still from the smoke down south) and a little windy.
How did you manage to get such sharp pics?
Beautiful shot anyways!!!!!
bartman
ps mayby the smoke haze made it more orange?

[TrevorW]

Thanks Bart smoke haze was still around so probably attributes to some of the bad data in there but because Orion is so bright collecting data on this one isn't that hard even when conditions are not that good

The EQ6 mount is a great mount and solidly built so a little easterly wind doesn't phase it

The second image is my pic Trevor. I think you need to do a further set at 600 seconds. That will bring out the outer nebula.

[TrevorW]

Thanks Paul I agree the first was a rush job and overstrectched actually I was planning too get some 10 minute subs but the easterly got stronger and annoying so I packed up about 11:30pm

will try and capture those too add latter but might have difficulty getting the exact line up again but no rush

[Ric]

I liked both images Trevor, both show two different perspectives.

Cheers

I LIKE THE LAST ONE THE BEST .I'M TRYING TO IMAGE ORION TO BUT HAS BEEN A BIT TO WIND A NIGHT MY LOSMANDY GM8 DOESN'T LIKE THE WIND TO MUCH

[TrevorW]

Thanks Ric and Shane I promise this is the final rendition

[suma126 (Shane)]

[TrevorW]

Thanks again Shane actually the one on my pbase site is my final (promise for now), I've spent way too much time on this.
