I Promised myself I wouldn't do it.....

[bmitchell82 (Brendan)]

But i did it was midnight, and the photo i was hunting was in the wrong part of the sky, so i did it i took a photo of the Horse head nebula.

1hr 45 min total of data

15min L @ 1x1
10min RGB @ 2x2
-25 Deg C QHY9
254 AG + OAG riding apon the white..... Stallion he he he

Brendan

I like it.

[multiweb (Marc)]

Nice HH. Really good actually.

[bmitchell82 (Brendan)]

Thanks Mark, Peter.

Ill be happy when i can put more than 2 ea of RGB into the mix, there really was alot of noise to contend with Almost brought me back to DSLR days

Though I am happy with the clarity overall of the image. I saw for the first time FWHM well into the 2's which is really splitting hairs.

Nice work Brendan....that was a promise worth braking.

[allan gould]

Nice shot Brendan but a little dark for me (maybe my monitor).

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

That's a great Horsehead Brendan, nice detail, it has a lovely sharp look to it without looking sharpened, great work and well worth the effort

Mike

[Osirisra (Ken)]

Nice one! As Mike said, nice crisp and sharp look it.

[CoolhandJo (Paul)]

I agree with Mike! Imagine what this will look like with a touch more data! Awesome

[SkyViking (Rolf)]

That's a great image Brendan, it looks very crisp! I like the colours too, it has a nice mysterious look.

its definately not super bright, i didn't want to push the image too hard as the data isn't capable of it yet with far less than what is needed to make it smooth and really pop out. Though on my screen it isn't dark

Thanks Mike, I worked hard on the focus because Im still on manwell focus and the FWHM reflected that.

Ditto here
really pops on a 23" HD screen

[bmitchell82 (Brendan)]

Thanks rob, Im hoping to drop 4-5hrs of data into the image tonight if the weather plays ball. that will allow me to really bring the data up and show off the dark dusty parts that I know the 10" is capable of showing!

I streched the data beyond what would be normally acceptable to actually see whats there in the standard image and it is actually quite a lot but colour noise from the small intergration time kills the data.

A very nice image Brendan, I wonder how many chickens died since you broke your promise .

cheers

Graeme.

[bmitchell82 (Brendan)]

Dont you worry mate i have a large stash of chickens that help me in my conquests. never know one day I may have to upgrade the chicken box just to house more! >: )

[Stevec35 (Steve)]
