About These incredible nebulae in the constellation Orion are the result of star light illuminating huge areas of gas. The Horsehead nebula is an area of dark dust that obscures part of the illuminated gas and a great many stars too.

Barry, so you were on Hubble-Telescope??? Until now only at NASA's website I could see such magnificant images. I am very interested in astronomy but never able to take pictures like this. It seems to me that I even can see another galaxy, don't you too?
Congratulations!!! Best regards, Brigitte

Barry,

Good effort. Did you take any dark frames to try to reduce the noise in the individual images?

Taras


Barry Wakelin   {K:7838} 5/23/2004
Taras, yes I took two dark frames that I then averaged in Images Plus. Despite the dark frames, the individual exposures needed to be long at 400 seconds each and even with a bit of treatment in NeatImage, this was going to lead to noise once the image of digitally developed (even after 400 seconds the image was very dim in the original frames).


Stefan Engström   {K:24473} 6/16/2004
If you have multiple images there are some Bayesian techniques for distilling information out of noise that will do better than averaging, but they may still be in the domain of bigger budget astronomy only.

Fabulous. It's amazing what the newer digital cameras can capture in ther hands of someone who knows how to use it well.
