Horsie in Ha GSO RC10 and Atik11002M

[Hagar (Doug)]

Taken at Snake Valley Astro Camp on the last night which was by far the best night of the weekend. As usual I had burnt the candle at both ends for the whole weekend and by Monday night I was rather tired. Knowing I had a 5.5 hr drive home on Tuesday Morning I settled for a quick Ha rendition of this frequently shot target.

The image is a compilation of 10 X 10 minute exposures using an Atik 11002M camera, Baader 7nm Ha filter and a GSO 10" RC.

Finishing this run at about 1:00am I adjurned to bed to get some sleep before the long drive home.

Very nice Doug, surprised your still awake to post......

I don't think there's any candle left to burn.

I'll beat Jen, Is it March yet??

Looks good Doug! With some more narrow band blended in, it should look a treat!

[CoolhandJo (Paul)]

Very Very nice Doug! tight stars and great detail!

[dugnsuz (Doug)]

That's nice 'n sharp Doug.
You're getting some good stuff out of that RC10/CCD combo.
Bravo sir
Doug

Nice contrasty and expansive image Doug. I like the detail around the head. Funnily you will find that even a luminence run produces this sort of detail too. Well done.

[DavidU (Dave)]

Awesome detail ! The curtain is a treat, NICE work.

[multiweb (Marc)]

So sharp. Beautiful contrast and details. Great shot.

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Yeh looking good Dougie, great shot with plenty of fine structure coming out there, well done...never give in to the snooze gods when there is clear sky to be had!

Very nice indeed Doug. Glad to see you had a good night on Monday.

[multiweb (Marc)]

I keep coming back to check this shot. It's a real corker! That's gotta be the best/sharpest Ha shot of the area I've ever seen. Well done again.

So cool Doug! Looks like the oil/vinegarette mix in Italian dressing!

Skilz mate!

Thanks Grey, It could use a couple more hours of Ha data then some nice RGB to lift it to another level.

Thanks Doug, I am very happy with the combo I just wish I could get the flattener from USA/Germany.

Thanks Paul. I intend to blend this with some LRGB data when I can capture some.

Thanks Mike , the snooze gods won on this occassion. I think I managed about 10 hrs sleep for 5 days. Buggered is an understatement. Alot of the awake time was waiting and hoping for the skies to clear.

Thanks Marc, I didn't think it was that good. I do want to add a bit more data to this one to smooth out a couple of areas.

Bugger you spotted it. Yes there is three areas of concern which will be fixed when I get time. I found them after the initial Posting.

Thanks Alan.

[Bassnut (Fred)]

Yes, thats better than ..... the other one, top guiding etc, and nice to see the rain effect there, tight as.

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

Absolutely stunning detail Doug!

There is some fine detail in there that I have never noticed before. Thanks.
