How quickly you forget!!

[Tim]

After a nice visit from a fellow member today and a little tour of my obsy, I kind of reminded myself that I haven't actually posted an image for ages. I have been taking them, but with my laptop being broken it has been difficult to process them.

Well today I fixed my laptop and can use it again for processing. I was surprised how much I had forgotten about PS techniques and also Pixinsight methods. Need to spend some time at Kelling re-learning I think

Anyway, here is a quick process of some of the data I have been gathering, 1hr40min in O3 and 2hr 40 min in HA, using a SXV H9 camera on an MN190. 20 min subs. The fits were stacked in DSS, quick stretch in PS, and then combined in Registar, and the result tweaked a little in Pixinsight. Mix was HA for Red, O3 for Green, and then a mix of Ha and O3 for Blue, something which is very easy to do in registar.

In case you don't recognise it, it is the central section of NGC6960, the witches broom part of the Veil nebula.

Feels good to be back in the saddle

Cheers

Nice one TJ. It's like you've never been away from it.

I don't think you have forgotten much me lad.

Very nice mate The fine filamentary detail is lovely.

The 20 minute subs clearly showing their value.

Are you going to do either side for a mosaic?

Doesn't look like you've forgotten much

That looks great with plenty of fine detail it reminds me of the lovely view I had at it through Linton's 20" Dob at the SSP

It was nice to see you and the family again. Your obsy is superb I'm green with envy

Deliciously delicate. The waves ahead of the main shock front are showing beautifully.

I had no idea there was that much more detail to be had, very nice

[SlipperySquid]

It's blows me away what people are able to shoot from there back garden! in a word....Amazing.

[RobH]

Superb result Tim, the delicate detail is amazing.

I've not tried registar for anything other than basic registration, I must have more of a play with it.

Cheers

I think my brain just melted. Ridiculously good image at a level that I keep seeing some of you guys reaching, stunning. How you do it I have absolutely no idea, but I'd love to know!

[Steve]

That is one heck of a comeback Tim

[dmahon]

Now that kind of result is why I want to have a go at all this.

[bombassa]

Sorry I'm a bit late in my praise for this, but nevertheless..

Beautiful.

Thanks for all the comments. Especially from the newcomers to the hobby.

FYI, I bought my first telescope in Nov 2007, and live in the middle of the light polluted midlands. The kit used is all fairly modest. Reasonable results are definitely within everyone's reach
