M38 region

Re done some data from last year that I originally had trouble processing.

This is 2hours of 300sec subs and a few of the subs had high thin cloud in them.

Canon 60Da Sigma 105mm macro lens at f/4.5 ISO 1600 24x 300secs.

Thanks for looking.

Nice widefiled image.

Thank you.

What I was'nt sure of is all the faint red in this region, is it really there.

I think it is as the stars appear to be sitting on top of it.

Don't know if the faint red is supposed to be there or not but its a lovely image anyway

A superb example of widefield imaging!

Thanks very much for the kind comments.

I have fallen in love with the fov the Sigma lens gives.

Also trying to improve my processing, a slow process for me.

A great wide field, really puts stuff into context. Nicely done

Course it's meant to be there!  It's the Flaming Star Nebula and the Tadpoles.   Nice to see how they extend.

However, SkyMap Pro doesn't identify the little nebula below the clusters as presented here. Anybody?

Thanks Olly.

Do you mean the three near the bottom?

The biggest one Sh2-232, the faint small one is Sh2-231 and the tiny bright one is Sh2-235

Yes, thanks, that's nailed it. I then found this annotated one. http://www.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reinervogel.net%2FSharpless%2FSharpless_Auriga_big.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reinervogel.net%2FSharpless%2FSharpless_winter_e.html&h=1008&w=1632&tbnid=pKVPGvnglSmGdM%3A&zoom=1&docid=WTMNdhQxE-NSlM&ei=F334VMioHISzUZHogvAO&tbm=isch&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=1832&page=1&start=0&ndsp=8&ved=0CDMQrQMwBg

PS I can certainly feel a mosaic coming on. Where's Mr O'Donoghue??

[wxsatuser]

Now that would be something.......anything like the Orion one would be very exciting.
