PhotographerGordon HaynesLocationHereford UKDateFebruary 22nd 2008 10pmEquipmentTMB 115 f7, Starlight Xpress SXVF H36,Paramount ME, 15 x 10 minute exposures unguided with a 12nm Ha filterDescriptionThe image shows the whole of the Rosette nebula in Ha which has helped bring out some of the detail, there was a full moon in the sky close to the area of sky where I was imaging and the brightness of the moon was so great that from where I live you couldn't see all of the stars in orion due to the moon light. I had originally planned on 20 x 10 minute unguided subs but cloud came in and ruined the remainder of the session. |

PhotographerPeter W. O'BrienLocationDerry NH USADate02/24/08EquipmentDSI Pro II behind 10" LX200R @ f10DescriptionAfter years of trying to capture and blend with hours of luminance data, the wispy H-alpha filamentary structure flaring out orthogonally from the distorted disk of this enigmatic object, as if to compete with Hubble and others in their amazing images, I decided to abandon the layering and masking and blurring then masking and multiplying and dynamic range masking and stacking and yada yada yada, in favor of a natural look. Some may say that M82 is no beauty contest winner in the Universe pageant but I marvel at her so. |
