Horse head In Ha*more data added

[MikeD]

The bulk of this data was collected on Tuesday the 18th January, conditions that night weren't good so even though I got 4 hours of data the result was too noisy.

Last night I managed just under 2 hours of extra data, just enough to bring the noise down so I can move onto some colour data.

17 @ 20 min's in Ha through my 10" newt and HX916 CCD, Off axis guided with Maxim DL.

The longer subs have brought back the issue I had with star halos from the Astronomik Ha filter.

Although the halos would have been 10 times worse with my old Astronomik Ha filter I had replaced.

Another hour and twenty min's of Ha tonight before the fog set in.

Not a great deal of difference but It has enabled me to push the data a little harder on the faint detail at the bottom of the shot.

Image is now 21 @ 20 min's Ha

It is starting to look less like a head and more like a horse viewed from behind and it looking around to it's left

A very good image BTW, loads of fine detail and I am looking forward to the end result
