Horsehead

Posted By August R. Orlandi
Here is one of the Horsehead Nebula,not real found of it,
but I though I would post it anyway.
Don't know if the lab messed up or the seeing that night wasn't
that great about a 7. Lots of ice crystal in the air.
This is a 40 minute exposure on Fuji Provia 400 RHP111.
Takahash TSA-102 scope,Pentax 6X7 camera.

Eta Carinae

Posted By August R. Orlandi
Here is a shot I took of Eta Carinae at the Winter Star Party.
Know if any of you were there you know how the clouds and wind
was. Clouds in and out all night and the wind would get up to 25 mph.
This was taken with a Takahashi 102 refactor with the reducer on it,
Pentax 6X7 camera,Kodak E-200 film and a 40 minute exposure.
Not the greatest picture of this object. This was cropped,lighten a little,
and the dpi were reduced to fit this formate.
I have several more to post later,if you like.
