martin_h Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Its taken me about 3 months to complete this, what with cloud and full moons, its been one of these that I have shot a few frames as and when in-between other things.Anyway its done -ish for now, comprising of 5 hours of lum subs and 3 hours per channel RGB. Processing was a combination of Pixinsight and PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Very impressive Martin. lovely nebulosity and so much nicer than a pitch black background sky. Best I've seen for a good while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul73 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Incredible. M45 was the view that got me into astronomy in the first place.Worth the hard work. How many man hours to produce?Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloz1664 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Absolutely stunning Martin. Love how you have managed to tease out the greyish nebulosity which is not usually shown as it's intended. Most images are usually too blue (well to my mind anyway).I have around 9 hours of data( or 4.5 hours usable).I tried to capture last night but the wind caused havoc and ruined most of my subs.Makes me chuckle.....don't touch a QHY ccd with a bargepole.cheersSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the qhy5-II as a guide camera and was thinking of having a play on some planetary....or is it the dso cameras you are refering to? As I say, I've never imaged with a ccd so it's all dutch to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeyJ Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Incredible work there Martin - very deep, well beyond the usual hints of nebulosity and this has produced staggering amounts of detail - coupled with many hours of processing! Are you posting the full res version anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
