Sword of Orion HalphaRGB

[prokyon]

Hi folks!

Foggy weather. So I used the time to process my data of the sword of Orion. 9x900s Halpha and 6x300s for each colour channel.

50%: http://www.prokyon.startime.at/Bilder/Sword_orion_HalphaRGB_50Perc.jpg

Done with the Moravian G2-8300 and the Canon EF 200.

I am a beginner in using a monochrome cam. But it is very exciting. Can't wait to do more and learn more.

Cheers

Wow... crikey now that's a rendition of these targets ive not seen done before..

Can I ask did you 'stop' the lens down on a camera body prior to imaging? the spikes look like you have done and boy is it sharp

[prokyon]

Thanks!

Yes, you are right. I stopped down to F/3.5 . I always do it. So it is easier to hit the focus.

Cheers

My reaction to this image was "WOW".

Only Saturn ever got a WOW from me before.

[Starblazer]

One of, if not, the nicest version of this lovely area I have ever seen!!

Unfortunately, it's a pity the camera ain't in the beginners ballpark ... well not mine anyhows lol!!

[Hawklord]

Absolutely beautiful.

A "beginner in using a monochrome cam"?

You'll make the rest of us weep!

Absolutely stunning!

Just an observation, there's a bit of the salmon pink effect behind the horsehead. May I ask how you combined the H-alpha?

It doesn't detract from an amazing image, mind. Well done!

Oh, SO good! I have one of these lenses but have not tried it yet. I am dying to do so now because this is thrilling.
