ASTRO: M42 -- The Monkey Face Nebula
Trying again with Astro this time.
___________________ Ok, I'll admit I've never heard it called that but that's the way it came out in my photo. I've held off on this guy until my processing skills had improved enough to give something with such a wide tonal range a try. The usual way is to merge a short and long exposure. I'm not there yet so used short H-alpha exposures for the L and even shorter RGB frames. Not sure where the monkey came from however. He appears happy enough however. (See the right side and warp your mind some.) 14" LX200R@f/10, H alpha=6x5' RGB=4x1' all binned 2x2, STL-11000M, Paramount ME Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh". |

Very nice M42 Rick. Can't see the monkey, but who knows, he might be
somewhere up there. Stefan "Rick Johnson" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

He's on the right. Big, with his mouth wide open. Eyes nose and mouth
are "obvious" to my warped mind. Right side of the nebula is the left side of his face. He is nearly upright, tilted only slightly so his chin is to the right a bit. Some dark band sticks out his mouth like a wide ice cream bar stick. His eyes and nose are bubbles blown by super stars in the nebula. Not sure what made that wide gaping mouth. Also several emailed me to say it is a chimp face and they are apes not monkeys. I stand corrected. For Stefan and others who've written and can't find it I posted a picture with the features marked.
