A Horse and Crab Nebula

[Rocket Pooch]

Quick process of the Horse Head Nebula (no Ha used) and Crab Nebula.  Both need to be worked on  They have worms.

Nice one Chris, What did you use to take the images?

Tremendous......

I love the 'horse head' - I have to get that - I may need to borrow your LP filter though.

Hi Paul,

It was the Skywatcher piggy backed onto the LX90 mitt vedge again at prime with a LPR filter.  I was surprised to see how big the horse head was, it would never have fitted if I'd used the LX90.  

Hmm

Wow! Even better - How did you fix the dark shadows under the stars?

John.

A very nice image Chris. Have you been out this evening?

[Rocket Pooch]

No I did not go out Alec had a football match at 9am in Benfleet so we have to leave at 8am.

I removed the shadows using the rubber stamp in photoshop.  You can do it with the pre-stacked frames using a van critteron (or something like that) filter but it would involve selecting and processing every frame selerately.

So I cheated.
