A DISASTER EVENING HORSEHEAD AND SIGMA ORIONIS

[CELESCOPE]

Well i nearly gave it all up last night , after waiting so long to get out , forecast said clear for a while last night, so kept looking out , and YES!!! at 9.30 it cleared a bit , so set up , using the ED100 ,Atik 16hr with HA filter , i fancied a closer image of the horse , got it framed nicely and set it going , thought well no point in hanging around , i will take the dog for a walk and watch some tv , after a while went back to the observatory , only to find the WORD on the monitor saying NO SIGNAL ?????? DAM!!! nothing was happening so turned the puter off , still nothing , went to safe mode , started it up again , went to click on an item and bang crash of it went again , tries various other things , but nothing would work , gave it up came indoors with the right Hump!!, this morning , turned it on, and it worked ,so done a restore, then the mouse froze , rebooted and has been ok since , YOU TELL ME i cant figure it out , anyway looked at the subs only 29 had been taken and due to OH YES WIND AS WELL , i could only salvage 15 subs , so here is the result, sorry its not rogers best , but at least i got something lol

PS, think that star is correct , if not Astroman will know ehhehe

Still amazes me how you pull a decent image out of a disaster Rog 8)

Wasn't meant to be mate

Looking good Rog of 15 subs, no sign of the wind either. Did you need to do any processing on the stars? You're a bold man imaging with the ED100 on a breezy night!

You've turned a disaster into a work of art Rog - you don't do the water into wine trick aswell do you?

Hi Guys and gals , i understand what you mean , but to me i know a lot more data could have been obtained with this image , but i guess thats whats its all about , i can remember my first images , thought they were great , then as u move on , they dont seem so great , its all about progress , hence my web site name , yes i,m happy with that image , but it was a disaster as things go , but thank u for the lovely comments , love that about the dog Martin ehehheheheh ',
