prokyon Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hi folks,last week we had some clear nights. So I captured some data of M78 with the TL APO 80/480 and the Moravain G2-8300 from my balcony.Processing only with Theli and PixInsight. L 15x600s, RGB 11x600s for every channel.large:http://www.prokyon.startime.at/Bilder/M78_55Perc.jpgRegardsWerner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 That's fantastic detail you have in thereIt's a shame about the gradient though, do you use flats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zul Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Stunning details!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prokyon Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Thanks Zul and Euan!Yes, I make flats. And PixInsight is very strong in removing gradients. To be honest, I can`t see a gradient. At the left corner above you can see a part of the Barnards Loop. There is so much hydrogen and dust in this area... CheersWerner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prokyon Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Thanks Lee!I hope I don`t weary you folks. But I did a reprocessing today. I think it is an improvement. Colour calibration with Theli completely. The rest with PixInsight.66 perc:http://www.prokyon.startime.at/Bilder/M78_TheliPixInsight66Perc.jpgDo you think it is better now? The feedback in this forum is always a great help for me.RegardsWerner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uranium235 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Looks better, a lovely image But you may have lost a little bit of contrast in the dark stuff. Anyway, its still brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soggybongo Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 simply stunning, i cant wait to get images like this.well done mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi, I prefer the first one, I like the reflection comin out of the dark cloud.. Very nice indeed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperySquid Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm with you Coco, it's the first one for me also. I find it hard though to find a balance on large nebula as I never know how they are going to look on other people's monitors?Great im age Werner, there's a lot going on and I love the detail in the main dusty area!Thanks for sharing mate.Clear skies,Matt.

steppenwolf Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Excellent, Werner - this image is beautifully wide and indicates to me that I must revisit it myself with a shorter FL telescope than my reflector. Lots to feast your eyes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prokyon Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thank you for your comments! The processing of this is really difficult. There are so many possibilities. Makes me crazy... . After the feedback I got I think I will stay with number one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
