Popular Post Clive Posted January 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2020 Ever since I first took up astrophotography (a very long time ago - CCDs hadn't been invented and film was the only option) I've always wanted to image the Horse Head nebula. Despite many attempts with seriously long exposures using an off-axis guider through my late 254mm F6 Newtonian, I got absolutely nothing. Having returned to astrophotography just a year ago using an unmodified DSLR, reading the literature, I had been convinced that the Horse Head was still out of my reach, especially from a light polluted sky. At the end of last nights session, I though I would just point the camera towards Alnitak and took just 4 exposures. Tonight, even though having looked at the JPEGS out of the camera to see only few stars poking out above the white background, I thought I would run them through DSS and IRIS. Now I can't wait to get another clear night to get a decent quantity of subs! +Ibbo, Bassinghamobservatory, tuckstar and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Graham Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 For just four subs that is pretty impressive. Waiting to see what you get with one hundred plus subs. Clive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
