Popular Post silentrunning Posted December 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2016 I think this is the first real RGB image I've managed having had NB filters on for the last few months. This is also the first image that utilises the full QHY11 chip as up until now I have had to chop loads off. Graham made me a superb chain of adaptors that allows the full chip to catch light even through the 2" filters which are now the narrowest part of the chain. I'm pleased with the flatness of the field, the 2.7" AP field flatner seems to do a really good job and chip tilt is less than I suspected it would be.

Tweedledee Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 There are a lot of very faint stars in that full res. Very nice and detailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithysteve Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Great image John, lovely detail, ? Obviously a challenge for imagers, it's a great object to visually observe too. Your monster bins must showcase these winter jewels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentrunning Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the comments. Smithysteve, I do hope to get the monster nockers on this object, I can only image what this and the Orion Neb are going to look like through them. I did a wee bit extra processing to add contrast and remove a bit of noise... Edited December 28, 2016 by silentrunning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
