NGC2237 in Ha

[MikeD]

No clouds last night :hello1: but lots of moisture in the air and the bright moon stopped me going for any colour for my Horse head Neb shot.

I decided to have a crack at the Rosetta Neb as it was close to the HH and is one I have never imaged before.

15 @ 10 Min's through my 80ED with a 0.5 focal reducer set at 0.74.

Camera was a Starlight express HX916 CCD.

Mike very nice image

That's a nice image, Mike - what FR did you use to take this image as I am interested in getting a wider field from my own ED80?

[barkis]

You certainly got your reward for the effort there Mike.

Damned good for your first attempt. You set the bar high for yourself now.

I have the MX916 too, I hope I can eventually squeeze something like this out of it.

[MikeD]

Thanks again Guys

That's a nice image, Mike - what FR did you use to take this image as I am interested in getting a wider field from my own ED80?

I used a atik 0.5 FR but set @ 0.74 (21mm from the CCD) because The stars looked pants @ 0.5 (40mm from the CCD) *see* http://stargazerslounge.com/index.php/topic,20384.0.html

I have the MX916 too, I hope I can eventually squeeze something like this out of it.

Ron.

Looking forward to your images Ron.

[steppenwolf]

Thanks for the information, Mike - I must look further into this

Lovely image Mike.

Excellent Ha image.

On the same imaging learning curve myself. I think I will try longer subs , probably about the 10mins mark.

Another play with the data, less contrast but a more natural feel?

Better?

[jcm]

I must admit I always prefer the more natural images.

So , yes the last one is better for me.

John

PS Images seem to be loading rather slowly?

That really is nice and 'deep' Mike.

Great 'tracking' for 150 mins too.

I love therm both. Seriously good images.:-)

[HotBlack]

That's a great shot under those conditions Mike.

Excellent Mike.

The first one for me - not over processed but excellent conrast makes it really stand out. That well defined ridge of dust from 1 to 3 o' clock really stands out a treat.

They are both great images, you must be chuffed.

Superb capture Mike, excellent detail almost feels like you are about to fly through the middle.
