My First Horsehead and Flame

[Jockinireland]

This was much less time on target than initially planned due to various technical problems. But all in all I think its turned out quite well.

David, it turned out magnificently!

Outstanding work! I really like the fov that you have with your scope/camera combo. You did some fine color corrections too. The L-Enhance is really awesome, but sometimes needs a bit of "help" with some colors.

Very nicely done!

Thanks very much Jim. Yes its a really nice combo - just a little smaller FOV than with my DSLR. Indeed that was one of the reasons I went with this one - nice big sensor but a nice small pixel size too. Its a real pity I had to return it because I think that it shows real potential. But i am working on a replacement now.

You are spot on about the L-enhance and its impact on colours but I believe the additional "help" is well worth it. This was 94% moon so without that L-enhance I'd have been tucked up in my bed with the rig still inside.

Hope you and yours are well.
