Thank you....Ive got quite a bit of data still to process...Ive just been too busy. Amongst other things I have been building my new observatory 😀.....finished it now! Im pretty pleased with it Thank you....Yes except the object may not be present in all of the frames (I haven't checked yet) because it was imaged over a few nights...

Thank you Many thanks .....Yes I saw that...There's another up towards the top right of the Horse too.......Most of these moving objects are normally rejected by the stacking algorithms. Pixinsight produces a map of the rejected pixels, Its great for cleaning up satellite trails but bad for these sort of objects. Thank you.....I do love One Shot Colour and these sort of objects are where they shine. However the addition of narrow band elements on their own or even added to the an RGB image you will bet better results with the mono.....I am not saying you cant do it with a OSC the results are best with a mono. The 'tilt' is actually an artefact of the stacking procedure caused by the objects altitude....I am looking into it to see if I can get better registration by tweaking the alignment settings. The stars are actually pretty round from corner to corner in the single frames. This object is very low down and is effected by atmospheric refraction. The frames were captured starting from at around 18 degrees and I think peaked at around 29. Thanks Thank you

Its been a few months since my last image. This is a wonderful part the sky in the Scorpius region The Blue Horse imaged remotely from Spain with the Epsilon 180ED and the ASI2400MC full frame OSC camera. A total of three and a half hours comprised of 120s sub frames. Processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop. Thanks for looking Peter

Id say a success Olly....beautiful

That's just incredible!!! Do you have the equipment specs?

Very deep result...beautiful

Another fine image Goran

Lovely rendition...love the colour in this one

beautiful detail

I think you could be right Alan. I was looking at it again this morning, the red is there and is what makes it look deep, but perhaps the saturation in the reds is too much. I will probably give the data a fresh look and see if I can improve on it.

thank you both for the kind words

I haven't been around over the past few months , unfortunately I have been dealing with the passing of my mother. It has been nice getting back into my imaging and has taken my mind off things. Anyway I have been processing this one over the past few days....The Helix Nebula. Imaged remotely from Spain with my 12in Dall-Kirkham @F6.7 and Moravian 16803. The data was collected late in the season and was pretty low in the sky. Imaged in RGB , Ha and OIII. Exposure times were 4hours in each RGB filter, 3.5 hours in Ha and 6.5 hours in OIII. All 600s subs a total of 26 hours. Thanks for looking Peter

that is just outstanding...I love this object

That's really good especially for the amount of integration time you have

The 2600 is soooo good .....a wonderful shot ...pin stars, love it

Thank you Thanks Tom, I processed using a combination of Pixinsight and Photoshop. PI calibration is so good it really does a great job of cleaning up the data, I don't think I'd be able to push the process so far without it.

That's a big difference Goran

Thank you

great job on that....I like your framing

good colour and the shell is coming through nicely

Thank you Craig.....the colours in this area are wonderful

Wow thats a lot of stars....great image

Beautifully processed Tom

Topaz is a great bit of software

Thank you....I do like the Large Molecular Cloud...so much to see there
