Barnards Loop from a fixed tripod

[tornado33]

Hi all
I was out last night and got home too late to set up my scope but as it was clear I set up the 350D and 50mm F.18 lens, and took 26 x 10 sec images of the orion area, then aligned and stacked them with Iris, Barnards Loop is just visible. The Modded camera is very sensitive to the h alpha light

That's amazing stuff there Scott.
Can't believe the amount of detail it's picked up for that short time.

I'm gonna give it a try too.
Good onya mate.

Hi Scott,
Truely amazing, Ive tried quite a few times to get this object, short and longer exposures without success but no luck, just a red sky, ill do your trick and make it lots of very short exposures, confusing though, I got IC2177 the seagull nebula with 7 x 4 Min. Exp. O.K. and it has a lower surface brightness, anyway very good effort there.

Thanks all
I could just see the loop on the individual shots on the cameras display screen. The UHCS filter makes it possible, combined with the sensitivity of the camera.
