Allan,you've done a very nice job on this,with Alnitak very well controlled...try and tame the red in the flame.

Alan
Nice shot as usual. That 127mm really has done a great job and you have framed it really well. Great image and I hope you get the extra data as it's been crappy here for a while and now the moon is going to be present.

A very, very nice Horsehead and l like the detail that you've achieved in the dust cloud. And it doesn't matter how many times I see this nebula, I always think of Reschs Pilsener!!

A very nice image that makes me realise I need to spend at least a week on imaging an object getting as much data as I can rather than the quick one-night-stands I'm currently having!!

Cheers,
Mario

Fantastic image Alan!

alan meehan (Alan) · #14 14-12-2011, 06:37 AM

Thanks Ross and Lydia i have stretched the last shot just a tad to far
always room for more reprocessing.

nice al very nice

Tilt (Michael) · #17 26-12-2011, 04:38 PM

More data = good. I struggle with this deep space region, you've managed it quite well with the 40D. Are you using darks and flats with the 'light' data?

alan meehan (Alan) · #18 26-12-2011, 07:30 PM

Hi Michael yes iam using darks and flats with each set of light frames and stacking them in deepsky stacker

Very nice job here Alan!
For the amount of exposure, the colours and very rich and vivid!

Top stuff!

All the best
Rich

alan meehan (Alan) · #20 29-12-2011, 10:15 PM

Thanks Rich it is a very vived area ,i had noticed some horizontal banding in the shot so i did a bit of p/s removal ,i dont think this has taken to much away .AL
