[Earl]

Absolutely Stunning.

That is the best image I have ever seen.

[Earl]

Is that really all there..... And here was I looking at a black sky!!

Its Incredible !

[bus_ter]

Is this a real image? It's like Orion is one massive nebula?

Is there a complete sky map of this detail available?

[Earl]

Im am still awestruck by this image !

[Euan]

Is there a complete sky map of this detail available?

I wouldn't want it to be honest, I would be hitting one of those areas with 20 min subs and coming up with nothing, it would be really depressing

[Beyond_Vision]

A truly wonderous image the depth and colours are mindblowing. His website has to be the best set of pictures I have ever seen

Hi,

I have looked at APOD for a few years now, but this is without doubt the most

amazing image I have seen.

That is incredible. How the *(&* did he do that.

WOW !!!!!

[blinky]

Look at how many APOD's he has had! What an amazing set of images he has taken!

[Black Knight]

That is seriously awesome! Amazing stuff

[madjohn]

I'm still dragging my lower jaw off the floor......

That's one of the most awesome images I've ever seen taken of the night sky, look at the 'red curtain' around the horsehead, I've never seen that before.

Just amazing, a worthy APOD.

Just when I had seen everything I could about Orion...I never knew this was all there.

I concur with the other comments, this is the best image I have seen.

Gonna get that poster!

[jgs001]

That's stunning.... The FOV is about a 50mm on an APS-C dSLR, but I bet that's not how he did it...

[OptiGone]

Wow just wow...

[astroimpulse]

That is mind changing.

I've had to call the missus up to share it with another human in my life.

WOW WOW WOW!

[just looking]

One word

Fantastic ;o)

[simon84]

Thats it, I'm done, whats the point......

Only kidding, if that image dosnt inspire you to get out there and keep banging away I dont know what is.

I have no idea what equipment he used but can you attach a nifty fifty to an Atik 11000 and focus it?

[Mr Spock]

Awesome photos.

I suspect he does his processing in Photomatix...

[ollypenrice]

Splendid. The best (and by a long way) that I've ever seen. Orion really IS one big nebula and Barnard's, cradling our old favourites, really shows its structure here. How EEB would have loved to see this.

Amateurs can do something new in the widefield arena where you need time rather than giant optics.

I am trying to hold out agains an Atik 11000 and this image is not helping!!!!

Amazing, I almost didn't recognise Orion.

[Tim]

That guy is my favourite astrophotographer.

Out there it is anything BUT empty space.

Has anybody imvited him to the forum btw?

[harry page]

Hi

He is a fellow Pixinsight user and I know him from there

I will ask if he wants to post here now and again among us earthlings

What is most encouraging about this guy is his progress. Look at his images from 2007/2008 especially in the nebula section and see how they improve as time went on.
