The Running Man

[astro mick]

Hi.

I had a go at imaging NGC1977 or The Running Man Nebulae.You often see this Nebulae combined with M42 when imaging a wider field.

It was taken last night with my ED80 and Atik 314L+ ccd camera.

I shot 18x600 second subs for the Luminance,and 12x600 second subs for the RGB.This is an LRGB image.The centre stars are very bright and nearly overwhelm the image.They showed up quite bloated in the L and B Frames,and were difficult to control in processing.I don't think I have done a great job with this.

Full calibration frames were applied.

Cheers.

Mick.

It's a lovely shade of blue

Yes stars were probably very hard to control because of ED80 being a doublet, but image is very nice regardless of that.
