steppenwolf Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Having experimented with 'Holmes' tonight using my Canon 200mm Telephoto lens, I couldn't help but notice Orion climbing nicely in the sky so I swung the 'scope round and had a go with the same lens. The image comprises of 8 subs at 180 seconds each and three subs at 50 seconds each taken with my SXVF-H9C CCD camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondog Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 That's an excellent Running Man Steve - I particularly like the colour.Always looks more like 'Bowling Man' (10 pin) to me - he's got the action just right!Well done 8)MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroman Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Very nice image of tough targets! Tricky, keeping the Running man, (Ngc 1973) while not blowing out the core of M42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary1968 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 :shock: Very nice SW, good color, yours is the first image where I have actually been able to make out 'the running man'.Gary A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinB Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Running man stands out really well and nicely executed M42. The background looks a little clipped on my monitor though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppenwolf Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 The background looks a little clipped on my monitor thoughIt is a little clipped - a function of the processing required to get the main 'events' balanced. I have a less clipped version but then the area around the Running man looks too 'rough'! I reckon I could take a totally different finished picture of this pair every night, they are so open to 'interpretation'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robindurant Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Great image Steve. I posted my effort the other night but had too narrow a FOV to take in the running man. I will try my focal reducer next time.Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
