Great shot John ! for only 1 min exposure.
I hesitated buying a color st2000 as, like you, i've been a happy user of the mx5c starlight first one shot colour cam 8 years ago. finally i took the BW chip with the filter wheel, but i'm very impatient to see your work with this cam. BTW i see your site you reached the very best of with your mx5c, and i know how difficult it was. See my old 2000 web site with some mx5c pic : http://astrofana.chez-alice.fr/mx5c.htm Patrice "John N.

Thanks Patrice! I had fun with the mx5c. Good to hear from you.

John, the scope/camera/sky combination seems to be perfect for deep shots,
judgeing by what you can get in one minute. Stefan "John N. Gretchen III" schrieb im Newsbeitrag m... a single 60 second shot http://www.tisd.net/~jng3/observatory/m42.jpg -- John N. Gretchen III N5JNG NCS304 http://www.tisd.net/~jng3 |

When I recently did M-42 with a DSLR I did a few very short images and other longer ones that max'ed out the bright Trap region. When I added all the exposures together into a single image it had detail throughout. George N |

Thank you George! The brightest stars were almost separated in the raw data.

When I added all the exposures together into a single image it had detail throughout. George N The way I solved the Trapezium problem was to use H-alpha. That retards starlight greatly letting through the nebula. Seems that shot isn't on Usenet Replayer so I'm reposting it. 6 5 minute H-alpha shots and 4 one minute in each RGB color. While those were over-exposed as to the stars themselves by limiting that to the color only it just made for white stars but left the resolution of the H-alpha frames. I haven't tried George's addition method. While a one shot color camera isn't the ideal choice for H-alpha I've seen some good results using one.

If it wasn't snowing I'd have to run out and take a look at Orion right now after seeing that! George N That's one I posted last January, nothing new. So far my only M42 attempt. I have my first clear night in weeks. It is supposed to turn foggy but so far so good. Having trouble frosting the front of the CCD window however. During the last hour the temp has dropped 8C! You know its clear when that happens. Only problem is that most of the stuff I wanted to get when it cleared is in the area of that dang blasted moon!
