alacant Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone Still caring for the abandoned and unloved 6" f8. Just time for 14 frames before sunrise, but this looks promising. Nice to get close, alas Alnitak is still in the frame. I wonder if turning the camera 90º would isolate the horsehead and lose Alnitak altogether but maybe the spikes would remain even though it was out of frame? I wonder... Cheers and thanks for looking. All replies most gratefully received 700d on nt150l Edited December 26, 2019 by alacant 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobby Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I like it, maybe as you suggest rotate camera or crop slightly but I like it anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alacant Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Here we are rotated 90º. Not quite the improvement I was hoping for... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollypenrice Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 You could crop the top out if this if you so wished and it would still be an attractive framing. It hasn't happened to you this time but, quite often, when you move a bright star out of the frame it throws up a big flare like a light house beam. When we imaged this in a 14 inch reflector we had such beams from the bright blue stars west of the Horse. Olly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carastro Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Alnitak is a traditional feature of this target, why do you want to crop it out? I'd be more inclined to move the FOV to the left and get the whole of Alnitak in. Nice image by the way.

alacant Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 4 hours ago, carastro said: crop it out? Hi. Curiosity really. If you take the landscape shot and cover Alnitak, it somehow seems a stronger, less distracting composition (?). Dunno. Good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alacant Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Interesting observation: Rotation seems to have lost detail and colour. Does rotating a jpg lose information? I wonder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
