IC434 Horsehead Nebula in Orion

[Fay]

Taken 191211, 16x600, with QSI, 7nm ha filter, SW ED80, 0.85 FR. The sky was not that good, a lot of cloud, but around midnight, when i went to bed, it was a beautiful sky....should have stayed up.

I have another 9x600 i can add to rhis

Excellent the 7nm makes a big difference on the image, but why is the field of view narrower than mine, same scope same camera?

Is it Chris? If so cannot explain it! SW fr/ED80/QSI.

[Rocket Pooch]

Might just be the position?

[Fay]

Yes yours is higher than mine, just been checking the sizes

Beautiful image Fay, with lots of detail.   As you say, it's a shame you didn't stay up longer - the sky was continually improving until 1am. 

Unfortunately I can't see the Flickr version - it seems to want me to log in with a Yahoo ID.

Fay,

Yet another impressive image, but your image is set for private viewing on Flickr.

thanks Tony, Mark, i did not realise i had FLICKR on private viewing.,.....must take those pictures off

Yep, very nice and I guess the 7nM really does make a difference.

Tip:
If you stop uploading porn, you would have no need for a "private" setting

Lovely image Fay, it would be interesting to compare it to the one when you first got your QSI.

Excellent Fay - can't fault it. Excellent focus, FOV & processing - You should make a montage of all your horse-head images to track your progress through the years....

Thank you very much

Yep, that's really lovely Fay.  Being picky there's just a bit of noise in the faint areas but the other 9 subs should improve on that and allow you to bring out even more of the faint detail.
