Astrobdlbug Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I was walking the dogs earlier this evening and although it was blustery, the rain had stopped and the clouds cleared revealing an amazingly transparent sky- even with the full moon it was a wonderful sight. So back home and I thought I would give the Upper panel in Orion/Barnards Loop a try out. Sitting in my POD with wind swirling around it was very calm and surprisingly warm - got everything running and captured 55 minutes with guiding a very respectable 0.7-0.9 RMS. I knew another band of rain was due so as soon as the guide star SNR started to drop I packed up and closed the dome - sure enough the rain came in about 9pm. Just processed the short integration, matched it with a relatively unprocessed 2-panel version and hacked it around in PI and Photoshop - no multi-band blending to be seen here tonight. Anyway as I said here is a taster of the three panel mosiac of Barnards loop that I hope to publish in full next season, adding another 3 panels to include witches Head will also be something on the to-do list - super widefields with Samyang 135mm are such rewarding projects Hope everyone has got through today's storm and battened down for the next round Thursday/Friday Bryan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 A great project Bryan. It was clear here for a while last night too but really windy so no imaging. It’s died down now and just waiting for the next storm to hit on Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonyme Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Just love these wide field shots, there's so much to see. Can't wait to see you next rendition Bryan. I bought the Samyang 135 lens just over 12 months ago but only been able to use it once whilst on holiday in Northumberland. The vistas were amazing.
