Hi All,
Here is a 6x15 minute exposure of the Horsehead taken last night through my 12" LX200, ST-7ME, 48mm Lumicon HA filter.
Thanks for looking,
Don Spencer

Nicely done Don!
Hope you won't mind me playing with it a lil' bit, applied unsharp mask filter to sharpen detail a bit, and also resized it a little...

Thank you for sharing! and keep it up! wink

Nice work Don! The horsehead is on my short list of objects to try with my new setup. However, I need to master the guiding routine first, then I can try some longer exposures.

Nice shot, Don! One of my favorite objects. I like it sharpened a little but I agree with you that sharp stars look unnatural.
