Excellent image, Ian-you have captured Barnards Loop and the North Orion Bubble in great detail

[IanP]

Thanks Laurie,


The 50mm (Canon EF 50 F1.4) lens I used for this image is my favorite.
Not only it's optically very good but it also produces spikes (8-arm) on brighter stars ..

[tilbrook@rbe.ne (Justin Tilbrook)]

Holy cow!!

Now just stop that Ian !!
Your making me want a 60 DA more and more.

Superb image BTW.

Cheers,

JUstin.

That is a very nice image Ian

My attempt turned out quite like your first try, is it just the added Ha that made the difference?

What filter and exposure time did you use?

Cheers
Jo

Magic Ian, luv that one, yes sir : )

[IanP]

David, Justin, Jo, Bob, … Thanks

.. is it just the added Ha that made the difference?

Can’t be another way ..

What filter and exposure time did you use?

I used Astronomik clip-in Ha (12) filter.
The exposure time was 2-3min.

Very nice, Ian. That's an area of the sky that has so much to offer at many different scales. Lovely to see Barnard's Loop so clearly.

Thanks Rick,

Sometimes the big scale can be as challenging as the small scale ..

Wow! Barnard's Loop - that's a real sight to behold. Well done.
