CONSTELLATION AURIGA

[CELESCOPE]

Hi GUYS AND GALS ,

Well this proved to be a hard one , over two hours exposure time ,subs from 3mins to 6 mins, these wide field images are hard and even harder to process, but anyway ic405 the flame nebula the large one here is visible ,also ic 410 , and a couple of open clusters , 52 mm lens used and 16hr ccd , processed in Maxim and photoshop , will give this a rest now , and do a few Galaxies

A beautiful, rich widefield image Rog. If I had to choose between the 2, I'm swaying towards the colour version... 8)

As with the Heart and Soul image, all

I can say is Ditto.

That's a meaty chunk of sky Rog. The tadpoles are a bit shrunken looking based on waht we are used to seeing.

Nice one Rog,

I've got to agree with Caz I prefer the colour version as well. But both are stunning.

[Saso]

Fantastic images. I like both of them.

Another great choice of target. Oddly for me I prefer the B+W. So what's the next galaxy going to be Rog?

[SteelRat]

Nice stuff Rog 8)

Quality work as always Rog! :thumbup:

[Rob]

Good stuff!!...

[Black Shuck]

Great image. 8)

I really like the colour one but b&W to me always has a very fine, almost eery beauty (if that makes any sense)? :shock:

Cheers

Thanks for sharing that. I love those wide field views - there are clusters galore in there

[mightymonoped]

Nice one Rog. I love moosing around Auriga, it's one of my faves, great for just getting lost in with the bins

... these wide field images are hard and even harder to process

Beautiful images Rog 8)

I have a preference for wide-field images, why are they more difficult?

[CELESCOPE]

they would be say with more exposure Steve , and i cant do longer ones yet , at binning 2x2 , i,m on the limit ,else it tends to be to sensitive and would be overexposed, unbinned and guiding will sort that out ,

Rog

These faint nebula with a DSLR would need a lot of exposure to get it all out , prob get the main structure out , but its the faint bits that give he final wide image its depth.
