Thanks again!! Miraculous how you got to enjoy clear skies again!! I'm so looking forward to it! Great video! Orion is my 2nd favourite region, I love the h alpha firework the Cygnus region puts up for us. 💪
Thanks! I try to seize every opportunity we get for clear skies. Cygnus is also great, hope to get some last action of that part of the sky coming week.
I really love the way you deep-sky target are showing like jewels in the nice foreground, so I'm starting to going to wide fleid or even landscape, lots of tips by watching your videos, carry on and clear skies!
Hey man, this video came in juust the right time. I've been studying all day for a super hard exam in Mechanical Engineering and I haven't been able to get out and shoot for a while. Seeing these shots sort-of fills that hole
Still working through the back catalogue!! Great video again, Jeroen - I absolutely love Orion and it lends itself to the Starglow filter nicely as well. I definitely want to get some h-alpha widefield shots of it this year, or maybe a mosaic of the whole constellation but using a 135mm lens….
Thanks man! It was a fun night indeed. Cold, but you can dress accordingly I always say ;-). Note that only 2 shots (the 24mm and 50mm) were shot this evening (+the 40mm of Martijn). The rest is mainly some backcatalog from when I also used to shoot with telescopes about 2 years ago.
@StarScaperPhoto yeah have seen that and that's really helped me to understand the HaRGB processing. Thanks for that one too. I was however having difficulty with just color balancing or stretching the RGB image itself. Hence was requesting a video specifically for the editing part.
I'll think about it, thanks for the suggestion. The ha in Orion is much weaker, so depending on how dark your skies are, sometimes it hardly shows up in the rgb. Color balancing remains difficult, also for me. The trick is to try to get the ha layer histogram kind of to the same levels as your base red from the rgb. After that you'll probably still have to tweak some more (weird color led sky, etc). I have no definative workflow for that, I just tweak until happy haha.
Orion is all anyone could ever need. And apparently there is other stuff too ;)
Ty for a perfect video
Beautiful work as always my friend. Love it.
Thanks Richard! Appreciated 👍

Thanks for the compliments and great to hear the videos are useful! Curious about your coming results also!
Great stuff! Love it. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for the kind words! Keeps us going :-).
Simple amazing! Keep going and have fun!
Thanks Olaf! Appreciate your comment. Was definately planning on exactly that 👍.

Ah man, that's great to read! Hopefully you get clear skies + shooting opportunity soon. And good luck with the exam!
@@StarScaperPhoto Thanks a lot, I'll need it
Well done, and inspiring!
Thank you Tony!

Thank you Paul! Also looking forward to Orion again quite a lot! Sounds like solid plans 💪
It was a great but cold night but your vlog reminds me only of the good stuff ;-) What a results man..

Would really love to see a processing workflow for widefield Orion. Having some difficulty processing. TIA
I already done an HaRGB workflow example on the channel. It is 50mm with Cygnus but the workflow is the same. Hope it helps!

@@StarScaperPhoto thanks so much. That will be great.
What does the HA+RGB mean?
Ha stands for hydrogen alpha, the wave length some nebulae emit, near the infrared. Rgb is just regular colors we can see as a human being.
Is this The Village Goirle?
It is not, was somewhere around the Veluwe.
Honestly, Tom should stop kidding himself and buy a damn tracker already, because he is clearly on a astro-adiction path :D
This is so true...
