M45 LRGB Deep Sky West remote observatory image

[Mike Hawtin]

This image has been made with data from DSW's Rokinon 135 f2/QSI583ws set up, all subs are 300 sec, 12 each r,g & b and 36 luminance.  I've done no noise reduction or star size reduction, even resampled to 1200 pixels wide the star shapes have held up quite nicely with just a touch of pixelation beginning to make an appearance, I've got to say I'm becoming addicted to these wide fields and the lovely dsw data is a real pleasure to work with, anyway enough prattle, thanks for looking and I hope you like the image.

Looks pretty good, is that from the M45 to CA data because I have'nt tried processing any of that at the moment.
I have been fighting the Iris nebula data and have'nt quite got round to anything else.

Thanks Mike, yes this is from the M45 to Ca data, it looks as though there is a mega mosaic of the region on the way, can't wait for all the data sets, it will be a monster!

Nice work Mike - the Mosaic will be fun.

Those extended blue pincers are really great.
