Orion Nebula to Boogie Man Nebula

[chuckp]

Here a shot of Orion from the Orion Nebula to the Boogie Man Nebula. Boogie Man is the small dark area in the lower left corner. This was taken with the 100mm Canon Macro lens and ASI 1600mm camera using a 5nm Hydrogen Alpha filter. 25-360sec shots Here is a better resolution shot orion200ha_bneb_clone-DeShps.JPG photo - Chuck Pavlick photos at pbase.com

Here is the color version. This is using the Hydrogen Alpha for the red channel and the Sulphur 2 as the green and blue channel. I wish I could do the regular colors from my back yard but my neighbors lights are just too bright. Here is a link to better resolution.

This is a shot of the horsehead from a dark site using an old Canon Rebel xt that is modified for astronomy. This was one of the first deep sky shots I took in back in 2012.

I love the detail you get with images like this. Well worth clicking through to see this full size.

The monochrome version shows a great range of tones. The detail is spectacular.

Another great image.

This is awesome Chuck! I am really coming to appreciate these monochrome images for the details they reveal.

So I learned something new today, I didn’t know there was a Boogie Man nebula.

This exact image is a composition I have been wanting to shoot for a while, but keep forgetting when I am out doing Deep Space Astro like last night out at Trona Pinnacles.

Thanks Alan, yes the higher resolution really shows how stunning this area is.

Thanks Jameel, I'm really happy on how good this lens is working. Last year I tried a mosaic of this area and because of the weather it took me a long time to piece 4 images together.

Another great image.

Thank You Ben!

Thanks Jim, this image was taken looking right above my neighbors patio lights which shines right into my observatory. It would be great to see what you can do at a dark site.

Chuck,

Really impressive to see that 100mm Macro perform so well for astro - even the corners look quite good to me. I think you said this is the older not L non IS version of the lens? Was this shot wide open? Great image in any case.

I plan to try to shoot M78 and include part of Barnard's Loop in the frame next time I am able to start imaging (hopefully in about 10 days or so) as this is such a cool area of the sky.

Thanks Mike, it is the L series IS f2.8 but I set it at f5. In the full res shot the stars are a little bad in the corners but I resized it to 2400x? and it isn't noticeable. I also took a wide field shot of m35, jellyfish, monkey head and Lower's in one shot. Hope you get a good shot of M78.

Really nice, Chuck.
