Belt of Orion

[drdavekaplan]

Absolutely Fantastic shot I love the way it puts the horse head in perspective I have never seen it before visually and thanks to your stunning picture I know where to look
somehow looking at a book shot is not the same as your efforts from your balcony
congratulations

What mount are you using? That is a beautifully smooth shot.

[prokyon (Werner Probst)]

Thank you so much!

My mount is the G-42. And spikes yes or not - I am not sure. There are people who like it and there are people who hate it. I think I will make an aperture mask and check it out.
I love the spikes but they destroy some details. I will see...

Cheers

Werner

A very attractive field Werner.

[Shano592 (Shane)]

Wow! That is staggeringly wonderful. I think that is the best amateur image I have ever seen.

[Warhen (Warren)]

Werner this is very lovely indeed. Curious about the very pleasing diffraction spikes, how did you achieve them? Thanks!

[prokyon (Werner Probst)]

Thanks Louie, Shane and Warren!

@Warren,
the spikes are caused by the aperture of the Canon 200 lens. I did nothing special to achieve it.

A beautiful photo Werner.

Sharp, detailed and amazing colours.

Thanks.

Ross.
