Brantuk Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Prepare to be gob smacked: http://sguisard.astrosurf.com/Pagim/SGU-TD-M42.html#Picture1 Amazing what can be done with a 6" refractor, a proper dark site and good seeing. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CodnorPaul Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 WOW - never seen a picture like that of it before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peepshow Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) I am suitably gob struck. There is something about this AP lark that no matter how amazing other folks pictures are, and by gum they certainly are, we still thrill to see our own inferior efforts. It's the DIY in our genes I guess. Edited December 21, 2013 by peepshow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 That's a reference image for M42 if ever one were needed!! Fantastic detail, I would like to know the imaging data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibbz2 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 That's stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 That certainly is rather special. Never seen an image of it with such intricate detail and vivid colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 loads of detail, and how the hell did they manage to keep those stars so small and tight, mostly you always get a bloated one here and there with long exposures on M42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 That is pretty amazing. It must be nice not to have to contend with light pollution, air pollution, the jet stream or the Gulf stream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Thats what the dream combination of Atakama Desert skies, Tak150 and sbig1100 can do. It really shows that what we know as m42 is really a hole in thevsurrounding dust and gas. great link kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
