Frozen Horse - My first acknowledgement that Winter is on the way

[steppenwolf]

I had to start the winter season sometime and the ice on the observatory roof indicated that tonight was as good a time as any. 19 subs of 400 seconds each with my ED 80 Refractor and M25C - it sure was cold ....

I'm no imager but that's just beautiful. Definately one for the mags.

The original size would make a great poster or desktop wallpaper.

I tried looking for the flame neb again tonight - no luck even with a UHC.

Lovely Detail Steve I hope my next attempt coemseven close to that one. I'm going to haev to get a 2"-T adaptor to get narrow the FOV slightly with the Megrez72 either taht or i'll crop from the wider field.

What a beautiful sight that is. Everything is spot on in that image.

I bet you warmed up when you finished producing this Steve. I agree on the suggestion it is Magazine material. No doubt about it.

Superb.

Stunning image Steve!

Great shot Steve, perfect set up for it. All perfection apart from one tiny thing, the bright stars are a tad cyan to my eye, were you using an LP filter?

[Psychobilly]

At a guess the old faithful Hutech IDAS will be in there somewhere...

[LostNSpace]

To go with the lovely crisp night Steve you have produced a lovely crisp image.......Simply amazing

Yes, as Billy has guessed, I don't leave home without the IDAS filter and although I think the filter is the best at doing the job of LP filtering I guess this is a potential trade-off but I may have introduced a blue cast in the post processing as I don't like to see this background area looking 'too' red if you know what I mean!

[Helen]

I like that a lot Steve :hello1:

[Parallax]

Words fail me......

Absolutely spot on.

Excellent result Steve with lovely contrast and very smooth too. I'm glad I have sorted out my remote control of my setup now the winter season is on it's way

[Baskii]

Wow. With the foreground stars it almost looks three-dimensional! If only the night sky looked like this to the naked eye...

[saturn5]

One of the drawbacks of living up here...horsie aint up yet.
