ollypenrice Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I wasn't too happy with the first of the all-TEC M42s I posted. The L layer was rather flat and the blues were a bit funny. I shot a full winter night's worth of extra data last night and I think it's getting there, slowly. Stéphane did rather kick this out of sight with his Atacama image recently! We do what we can. I think it's better in detail than it is as a whole so a big one is here; http://ollypenrice.smugmug.com/Other/Best-of-Les-Granges/22435624_WLMPTM#!i=2996586750&k=wSjpw9q&lb=1&s=OExposure lengths were 10, secs, 40 secs, 5 mins and 15 mins. Methods were... strictly private between consenting adults!! Not entirely by the book.Big thanks to Yves for the use of his Mesu for a while, to carry the TEC.Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottS Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Don't let the Atacama images overshadow this. They are almost a special case. This is a fantastic image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickK Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Nice, only criticism I have is it's slightly flat colour/contrast-wise in the core but then you can take a beautiful image only for the 12bbp colour depth LCD screen to mash it up! It's got a good depth appearing in the outer dust..No halos on the stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swag72 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I like this Olly and the larger version with the space around it really does kick the proverbial butt!! Nice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perfrej Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Super!What a way to end the year! I like the colours very much. Not too sharp, not too contrasty, not too saturated./per Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsatuser Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Looking around the big image the detail is superb, the fine filaments across the Running Man, and between the Man and De Mairan's Nebula are seriously good.The fine blues sitting on the pinks in M42 look almost 3D, very nice!Not many astrophotographers could show a large detailed image and get away with it, if you get my drift. :icon_salut: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 It's a beauty Olly, and personally I prefer the colours and saturations you have chosen, looks more natural and deep-spacey if that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
