Fay Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 It is so long since I have been able to get any imaging done. as i have had so much trouble with my finderscopes etc, i decided to go outside & get it sorted the other night. I also wanted to test a new L bracket I had made for the QSI so i could turn the camera for another view when using a lens. I have also had a thinner front plate made for the qsi, as i could not get focus when using my OIII filter when using a lens. I now have a lot more leeway & had to sort out the new focus point when using the HA 7nm filter.Well i have never been outside when it was so windy! Bit scary as i was near to a lot of very large trees. i set up & let it all run and was surprised that I got anything.QSI 583ws, 7nm ha, Leitz Telyt 180mm APO @ F4 , 9x900, 3x600Will add to this as soon as outside happens to be favourable again!Thanks,Fay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thankyou very much. i have since sorted a bit of a light gradient. i took this south so street lights etc etc & sky glow in that direction.Fay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K3ny0n Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I didn't actually realise how close these two are together, looks brilliant having the both of them in one shot. Great image! Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyUK Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 This is absolutely stunning Fay - As others have said, it's a lovely FoV, excellent framing and great processing. I too am looking forward to seeing how this one progresses . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swag72 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I'm liking everything about this image, especially the 2nd edit with that gradient sorted. The fov is excellent, focus spot on and processing is showing a great amount of detail. This is a lovely shot Fay - Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatermass Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Really really lovely image Fay, know how you feel about getting out there it seems ages since I last did any imaging but our astronomy group got out there last night and enjoyed observing these two on the rear clear night we had. Have decided to keep my ed80 now and get my lazy astrobutt into gear and do some imaging soon, inspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ags Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 A lovely image - I often find that images of the HH and Flame are not pleasing visually (however impressive technically) as the two forms are very discordant, but in this image they work well together. M42 is also beautifully resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Thankyou, i am glad you like it, especially as I did not expect to get anything due to really high winds!Fay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Clear night skies seem very scarce lately - maybe a few hours one day a week if we're lucky. More like one night a fortnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
