Hi,

This is a quick stack of 24x5 Minute L with my QSI and a Tak 85mm @F5.3.

You've got some lovely data there Chris.  The dust is showing up very well, which is crucial to get a good looking final image of M78.   The original size is a bit noisy but scaled down it's looking excellent.

A very good start!

Looking good Chris - lovely widefield... Is that part of Barnards Loop off to the top right...?

Very good Chris, so clear.  I am missing a bit of sky glow!!!!!!!

[Rocket Pooch]

Hi,

Yes thats barnards loop on the right, a little noise because I did a quick brighness scaling which can be fixed, also I have 24x5 RGB to add, although I need to assess them 1st.  M78 is really difficult to image well, but I think I might have done ok.  Just down to the processing now.

Chris


P.S. I have some IFN on one of my other images, but thats for the geeks its not an RGB image

Not bad at all Chris, looking good!!

[Rocket Pooch]

Some colour, will try again later.

That's realy good Chris.
Every time I think I am getting half as good as you lot, you just rise the F****** bar.

That's a good result, Chris, on a very tough target.

Looking forward to the result when you've given it some serious processing.

Looking seriously nice, Chris

That's coming along nicely Chris.  The FSQ looks like an excellent Scope .
