Popular Post Peter Shah Posted April 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2021 This post was recognized by Craig! Peter Shah was awarded the badge 'Picture Of The Year Winner' The Witches Head Nebula, I'm not entirely sure I like this process. I was imaging late in the season and quite low down in the muck..I found this one of the trickiest images to Process .I thought I'd post it anyway. I may revisit it next season.. Imaged with the 105 f1.4 Sigma lens and ASI2600MC. 120s exposures a total of nearly 4 and a half hours. Processed with Pixinsight and Photoshop. Thanks for looking Peter Shah philjay, Craig, alis80b and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carole Thank you Carole....I don't know why I think its because I had to take it back to the start several times and I've been looking at it for a couple of weeks now.

Beautiful colours and lot's of detail, it's a great image 👍 Its not that I don't like....I think it's more about the noise levels and the aberrations around the stars caused by the lens from pushing so far. I had to push the process more than I would of normally liked......it will be around again and I can continue to collect for it to see if I can clean it up in the fainter areas.

Thank you Philip....I actually started grabbing data for it in January but with the weather over in Spain being un-seasonally bad most was scraped, so only finished grabbing data about a month back where majority was good enough considering its altitude.
