Sh2-254 through Sh2-258
Left to right they a Sh2-258, Sh2-255 (also known as IC 2162),
Sh2-257, Sh2-256 and Sh2-254 the biggest but faintest of the bunch. I used no H-alpha for this. I probably should have. Most photos you see of it are in H-alpha. It looks a bit different in LRGB. Each blob seems illuminated by its own central star. I don't know if this really the case but sure looks like it. Sh2-255 is often called the "Little Trifid". Not sure I see the similarity. Seeing was poor this night so I've reduced the size to 1.5" per pixel from my normal 1" per pixel. I'll try again next winter. Maybe conditions will be better. 14" LX200R @ f/10, L=8x10', RGB=2x10 binned 3x3, STL-11000XM, 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". |

Rick, beautiful image. At first I was a bit surprised that you shoot winter
objects in late spring, but this is probably left over from last winter. I once did a Halpha version and although I am too lazy to look for this image I am sure that I didn't get as deep as your broadband image. Stefan "Rick Johnson" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

I'm just now processing images like this one. At the time I had a light
leak in my system that put some nasty patterns across the image. The leak was in the flats not the image itself. I'm just now getting to the place I can process that stuff out. I almost killed this and a few yet to be worked on as too far gone to process. But with all the clouds this winter giving me time I finally figured out ways to handle this problem. Though those still to process were hurt more than this image was so the challenge goes up a few notches with them! Rick Stefan Lilge wrote: Rick, beautiful image.
