M42 and Horsehead

[Trevor N]

Managed to stitch a couple of shots together to link M42 and the Horsehead / Flame area. It would be interesting to cover the whole constellation . Perhaps one day !

Beautifully captured Trevor, terrific widefield, and great job on the processing, you have managed to keep lovely detail and colour without over doing it .

An inspied composition! Really, a truly great idea. I wonder how you combined them? I use a programme called Registar which is brilliant for equalizing the colours and levels, etc.

Congraulations on giving us a great feel for the way the area fits together. Lovely.

Olly.

Many thanks. I want to try stitching more widefields together. It was done with two shots on a dslr through a megrez 72. The stitching was a bit hit and miss using the free version of autostitch, regards , Trevor

That's a lovely image Trevor!

[Deneb]

Something Different, but very Good, well done Trevor

[Aza]

Lovely image!

Would you mind showing a single sub of each set please?

I would like to do something with the same set up, just a bit worried with how to deal with the elongated stars I get.

Which flattener do you use?

Cheers

I'll try and find some of the subs. Just hope I've still got them on the laptop. I used an f6.3. reducer and with the megrez 72 you get a fair bit of barrel distortion near the edges so I cropped one edge and kept the best bit in the middle to stitch together. The stitching was done in autostitch after I adjusted the levels e.t.c. It took several attempts to get things reasonably equal but if you zoom in you can see the quality of the stars varies noticeably either side of the stitch line.

Hope that makes sense . Trevor

Sorry Trev missed commenting on this one ... nicely done...

Thanks for the info Trevor.

I have never imaged these targets before, so seeing your subs would help in making sure I get them in the right position to mosaic

No need to put yourself out though, your image above should be enough.

Did you crop off much? Did you have quite a bit to play with?

[Tim]

very nice, love the way thats put together

[barkis]

A very nice bit of work Trevor. Lots of interesting targets in there.
