This is based on the same image data as my older M42: The Great Orion Nebula - M42
This time I used the five H-alpha shots as red channel (epxosure: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 minutes at f/4). The five shots through the visual UHC-filter were taken for the green channel (exposure: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 minutes at f/4). The one shot without any filter is used as blue channel (exposure: 30 minutes at f/8). I know, the colours are strange but that makes for a nice change --- Nikon FE hypered TP 2415 film (for H-alpha and UHC shots) Fuji Neopan 100 Acros (whithout filter but it's not sensitive to H-alpha) modified EQ-6 mount 8 " GSO Newtonian optics (f = 800 mm) in a very stable selfmade truss tube comacorrector Nikon 2x Teleconverter manually guided @ D = 60 mm, f = 900 mm through a Baader Microguide eyepiece 13 nm FWHM CCD H-alpha filter visual UHC filter Photoshop (aligning and cosmetics) Registar (averaging) Cadet (custom PSF deconvolution) Noiseware (adaptive FFT noisefilter with built in sharpening function) |

Maybe you should try Orion Deepfield once like [link]

Wish I could speak in just one sweep
What you are and what you mean to me
Instead I mumble randomly
You stand by and enlighten me
In general the detail in this image should be better, because I aligned the images more accurate and stacked them using Registar, not Photoshop. However, I kept back a bit from deconvolving the whole thing.
I know this deep field but how long do I have to expose the film with my 8 " Newton when Gendler exposed 20 h CCD using some refractros and a 12.5 " RC???
That's simply impossible with my equipment. Gimme that SBIG cam!!!

Welcome to the darkness...
Ehehe, in fact these shots weren't too lucky, there was moonlight disturbing, as well es fog and misted over lenses and mirrors. Could have been better...
You need a telescope with a parallactic mount to take such images...do you have one?

Euh I would say I'd like to live there near stars.
It must be fantastic!
But, you don't need only a telescope but a nice weather without clouds.
Do you saw the eclipse?
Did you some shots?
I was so sad because in France there were too much clouds.
Hmmm but it is even so very great!
Where did you took this beautiful shot?

Welcome to the darkness...
But sometimes it's great so see a star or a galaxy directly...dreaming of what may happen there...
Yes, the weather is a big problem but even in Germany or France there are nights without clouds
The real problem is the light pollution. All the lights of cities, cars, etc. brighten the sky so much that it gets brighter than the object you want to see/photograph. Then, of course, the object gets invisible.
The last eclipse happened while I was still sleeping
I took all 11 raw images in our garden, right out of a small city
Your first comment is in German, this question comes a bit late but do you prefer German for our future communication?
