PhotographerPeter O'BrienLocationDerry, NHDate2/21/06 04:38 UTEquipmentMeade DSI pro II and a 10-inch LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope.DescriptionThis image is a composite of many images taken @ f3.3 and 6.3. For the filamentary structure a number of unfiltered 2min exposures taken @f3.3 were heavily pushed with levels and unsharpening filter in Photoshop, then subsequently combined and wavelet processed in Registax to bring out the detail. This enhanced filamentary image was then combined with the single best image. The inner detail was taken with 1min exposures @f6.3, scaled down and combined. Similar techniques were applied to red and H-alpha data. |

PhotographerPeter O'BrienLocationDerry, NH, USADateFebruary 2006EquipmentMeade DSI pro II and an 10"LX200 @ f3.3 & 6.3DescriptionThis is a combination of a series of images captured with the DSI pro II. The overall image was taken @f3.3 using drizzle technology. Two versions of the same image were used, one to bring out faint detal in the outer arms and other to compensate for overexposure of the nucleus. Other images taken @ f6.3 were then scaled down in Photoshop and combined with the f3.3 data to give sharpness and greater detail to the nucleus and brighter out arm patches. |
