Horse head neb

[MikeD]

One from last night .

12 @ 10 Min's for the Ha and just 4 @ 2.5 Min's for the rgb( needed loads more colour data but the sun was coming up).

Strange star colours But I will have another go when I am not so tired.

The images are ha on its own for the mono shot

(click to enlarge)

and HA-HA/R-G-B for the colour shot.

Some great detail in the Ha version in particular, Mike. I so wish I had gone out last night!!

[saturn5]

Well worth staying up late for.

[MikeD]

Thanks all.

Steve, it was a hard job trying to get good colour and still retain the detail of the ha channel, more colour data needed me thinks.

Great work so far!

[Whippy]

That's looking great so far Mike , the HH is on my 'to do' list for the winter. Is it me or your focuser tube is still cutting into the light path a little? Those stars have a flattened 'bit' to them do they not?....

Tony..

[MikeD]

It's not you i haven't got around to that yet.

mike.

[Whippy]

My apologies mate, I remember you mentioning you was going to get something sharp to the focuser but I figured you had already done it. Besides, like I can talk about funny shaped stars atm...

Craking data in the Ha

The weather gods consipred against me on this one last night and all I got were 2 x min framing subs...

I suppose there's always the next time...

Looking good Mike, even before you do any tweaking, you're really in close here.

That Mono shot is so ethereal. A true Deep Space atmosphere.

Very nicely caught Mike, the mono capture is great. Looking forward to when you can add some more colour data
