First HH this season

[multiweb (Marc)]

Given the lack of horse heads in the deep space section I thought I'd post one just to be different.

Little affected by moon glow last night but seeing was reasonable. This is 3h in 5min subs with my C11 hyperstar. I have a bigger one here.

If I had less sky glow and more data I could have more contrast but I was reasonably happy with that one. Haven't imaged for a while now and haven't used the C11 for over a year I reckon so I was happy it went smoothly enough.

like it was bought off the shelf - great vista and you have that hyper star humming

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Yeeeeah... nice I guess ...just needs some colour

Seriously though, needs some more brightness along the wall or it looks too flat IMO...but still a great result Froggenator

Great start to the HH season.

[RickS (Rick)]

Looks good, Marc!

I must race out and do a HH... and then keep the image up my sleeve for 6 months

Tough crowd. I don't have dark skies to do proper color.

Nah... the relative luminosity is there compared to the flame which is much brighter. When the moon is down I'll get added contrast.

Nice detail and tight stars, Marc. You'd never think this was taken with a C11. Interesting diffraction spikes on Alnitak. Is it hte camera cable that causes this?

[IanP]

Must be the hyperstar config that produced the spikes ..
Beautiful !!!

[prokyon (Werner Probst)]

Great work! I think it is no easy thing to handle the hyperstar, you can!

Thanks Graeme. Yes the shadow on all the stars at 7 o'clock is the cabling. So are the funky spikes on Alnitak. I should velcro all this. I'm a bit lazy. Next time.

Love it Marc, look forward to see you colored Horsehead

[DJT (David)]

For this runner, the FOV works for me plus the level of detail you have captured. Classic view.
