Horse Head Nebula in LRGB and Ha

[peter shah]

LRGB and Ha The Horse Head Nebula In Orion. Imaged with the 12.5 RCOS @ f9 and FLI 16803
36x 600 in Luminance and 12x 900s in each RGB total 15hrs. High haze effected some of the data but the weather in Spain hasn't been at its best.
This scope I did a complete strip down and refurbish including a nice shiny recoat of it's stunning Zerodur optics ...that was a very nerve racking day I can tell you.
Thanks for looking…

Thank you everyone...I have been processing this for a few weeks now...going back to it....I cant tell you how many time I restarted it.......  the haze from the high cloud and the flare from Alnitak made it quite tricky for me.

It's a scope made back in 2003 and its just incredible....1/25 wave front Zerodur.... with front focusing it makes the scope almost flex free .... shame they don't make them anymore, they really knew how to make a scope!

My heart bleeds for you Peter 😏 - take a look at what Alnitak did to my image of the HH and flame that I posted earlier.....

I wont moan anymore Geof ...that is quite a halo from Alnitak for you to tackle....I would be easier to deal with if it had a soft edge

No worries Peter, I couldn't resist teasing you about our camparative problems 😁. Yes, the hard double edges on the reflections really make this very difficult to process away and certainly beyond anything I know how to correct.

Ive had a very quick go at a repair on your halo....its has some really nasty edges but with a bit more time spent it can be fixed.
