IC 4592 Scorpius Horsehead

[Tom OD]

Hi SGL,

After finally getting the right darks made tonight to process te RGB frames,they didn't work. So I have ended up using -20C darks for the -15C RGB frames. Seems to have worked ok.

This is 17hrs of LRGB (8hrs Lum and 9 RGB) taken with the FSQ106N and Atik 11000. Taken over various nights in June. There are some column defects still to clean up, I'll get around to that tomorrow.

I like the way this really does look like a Horses head. Its a good companion to the Winter Orion Horsehead. Below is a link to the flickr image.

Great image, Tom!

Horse is as natural as though it were painted.

This bad column in the right - is always like this with this camera?

Stunning image Tom, very nicely processed! I always think it looks more like a doberman, though

Thnaks everyone, yes Mark that colum is always there. Then when you stack a lot of frames it gets worse. I have not managed to get rid of it with darks, buts the darks tone it down a bit.
