Yep...I'll put $20 on the second one Louie.

If you have some images I would love to play with them....

You have my email address.

Sorry, the second image is nice but the 1st one still has me in! I dunno about anyone else but I get that great 3D effect from it! Love it.

[RB (Andrew)]

That's a very nice shot Louie.
I don't know anything about that type of camera you're using so I can't offer any advice, I've only used a DSLR. But it's a great shot through the 80mm on your mount.

I had a go at adjusting the levels, probably stuffed it up by making it noisier but here it is.


Definitly could use a bit more exposure.

Cheers mate

Thanks Andrew, on your reprocessing I think your trying to bring out the fainter regions ,but I don't think the exposure was long enough to capture It .
If you want I'll send you the uncompressed file so you can have a better go at It .

Thanks john and you have nothing to be sorry for , we all see things a little different and that makes for more interesting images mate . I guess that's why we have so many different looking shots of the same objects ! and how cool is that .

No Tony, that's been through PS I'll send you the TIF file If you want...no point in sending you the raw fits file because you can't use It without the SX software

Louie,

I have posted a comparison between my Orion Neb and your Orion Neb.

You better get a move on, as you can see by the pics I am right behind you!!!!

These two pics are definately neck & neck

Pic 1: My fantastic Orion Neb

Pic 2: Louies one

p.s. Excellent pic Louie

[atalas]

Ken I will always play second fiddle to the master of masters THE KEN !
but hey at least I'm in the orchastra

ps Thanks mate

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

LOL!

I've got a loooong way to go as you can see!

That is a great pic Louie. The Great Nebula is one I check out 99% of my viewing nights (when it's up) and you have captured it very nicely.
