Ha image

This is a 250 min Ha 10nm image
Taken with Tak FSQ, SBIG 8e
focusing done by hand, with the help of Maxim DL
I have to thank Andy for the help in processing this though since I am not good enough at processing yet to have brought out this image like this.

I used Ron's de-blooming software to take care of the blooms and to show that Alnitak is a double star in fact

Here is a better resolution of this image

Mark,

That is a really nice shot! Excellent focus and framing. Now if you get the processing down, you will be an expert .

Nice Job Mike! :-)
