ollypenrice Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 It really is a tricky one, I agree, but this is most attractive. Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddensky Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 This is incredible! Pictures like this make it so clear that M78 and the surrounding NGCs are just small, illuminated parts of the huge dust clouds in the area. What a detail. Very, very nice!

Olly Thanks Olly - It lacks a certain 3 dimensionality in the surrounding region. The core area is OK, but.....its hard to explain. The best I can do is say it is like doing a puzzle. You know, a 1,000 peace puzzle, but the image on the puzzle is a painting of mountains, not a photograph of mountains. Anyway - that is how it seems to me.

gorann Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) That is a great image Rodd! Reminds me that I have not aimed at it since I moved from DSLR to proper cameras. I remember processing was tricky and of course the end result was nowhere near as good as yours. Edited August 23, 2021 by gorann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree--its amazing how much dust and gas there are is the Orion region 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data that is there looks the way it should. It has a look of realism to it--like what one might see in an eyepiece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This target is relatively low in the sky for me, so it must be very low for you. --like M8 and M20 are for me. It makes it all that much harder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorann Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Exactly. It is probably only for a month each year that I could get half decent data so maybe I should leave it to the southerners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will certainly revisit this winter, weather allowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
