Nailing them now Doug. The brighter stars in the scene look like they've given you a little trouble. Not easy to deal with that's for sure, but you have done well. Keep it up.

I still have a lot to learn with the processing side of it but with this little scope I am enjoying the ride.
Thanks again.

I though the dawn may have interfered. My last several dozen time lapse are pure white frames

I thought it was great when I saw it Tuesday morning, now that's just wrong, so much dust and detail, an exceptional image!

Sorry you missed a great night Jen, Darren stayed up all night, I managed 3.30am because I had to drive home or it would have been all night also.
Not much to see of this one through a scope without a Hb filter.

RB (Andrew) · #29 23-10-2009, 07:57 PM

Another nice shot Doug.
You can almost feel the heat coming off the flame.
Lovely detail around the horsey.

Jeff · #30 23-10-2009, 08:21 PM

That's a beauty Doug!

spacezebra (Petra) · #31 23-10-2009, 08:23 PM

Thanks Andrew, I intend to add some Ha to this image when it gets a bit higher in the sky from here at home.

Thanks Lucien,

gregbradley · #34 26-10-2009, 02:24 PM

Wonderful shot Doug.

Try a bit of shadows/highlights and fiddle with the highlights section and it will pull back the bright stars a little and also give back the core in that neb next to the horse.

Greg

Hagar (Doug) · #35 27-10-2009, 06:52 PM

Thanks Greg, Sitting home with a nice dose of Gastro I gave your thoughts and a few other ideas a bit of a go.
See what you think.

Jen · #36 27-10-2009, 07:02 PM

nice pic Doug I like it Hope you get better soon

AlexN · #37 27-10-2009, 07:08 PM

You definitely toned alnitak down in the repro, and got rid of a few dust bunnies and the like.. but I think your colour was much better in the original... I find the original image much more pleasing in every respect..

bmitchell82 (Brendan) · #38 27-10-2009, 07:39 PM

hey doug just thought ide have a crack at it for a few min in between my study.

hope you don't mind

multiweb (Marc) · #39 28-10-2009, 09:05 AM

That looks hot Doug!

Great stuff. Makes me want to have a go at it again.

Hagar (Doug) · #40 28-10-2009, 09:08 AM

I took another look at the image and decided it was probably a little bright and in your face so here is another Sidonio of the same image but toned down quite a bit.
