As someone who’s seen the jwst image, I love what you’re going for here! I can’t wait to see the final product with all the integration time. I also have to appreciate the originality of this image! Clear skies
Thank you! Nights are so long now at our latitude that if the weather would ever cooperate, I could actually get sufficient data in just 2-3 nights. The weather has really been fighting me.
I still wasn't too happy with the image I ended up using in this video. I need a good bit more integration time, but I finally have a version I am happy with: www.astrobin.com/fbm30x/
Good evening! How very informative! I have very limited focal length and knowledge about this, but just soak up your videos with appreciation! Easy to enjoy and always beautifully presented. Hope your good weather continues. Hope you can one day get that ir- sensitive camera some time 😊
Thank you. An IR camera would be so very useful for some targets. At the moment, I am prioritizing building a second observatory in order to cut the lengthy periods needed for integration time in half.
Hi, to be honest I don't like the image too much. Will waiting for your final result, I think it is because I don't know the Horse Head in this way with all the detail. Maybe I just need to get use to it. Clear skies, I hope I get some too.
That's fair. It is not processed to look like the typical, dimmer Horsehead one often sees online, and heavy lifting will also make it look different from more typical processing. Hopefully, the 9-100 more hours of integration time I plan to put into it will improve that. I would like to get something loosely like the JWST's version though with less FL, but as the JWST has the ability to shoot in IR from deep space and I have to make do with LRGB from the ground, that'll never happen.

I would love to see you apply this to an LDN 1622 project. I'm currently struggling to gather data from my Bortle 6/7 skies. Keep the videos coming.👍🏾
What a great idea. It is such a beautiful region. It's definitely going on the to-do list.
Why does it look like amp glow emanating from the left hand side of the image?
Alnitak
The very bright, nearby star, Alnitak, causes that. It's unavoidable without going to a higher focal length.
