Orion - Mistake!

Post by Tachyon »

Ok.. I guess I wasn't too bright when I decided to shoot the Orion region during the Orionids using Rent-a-scope! Most of my shots had meteor trails in them. Luckily for MaxIm/DL! :)

The lower fuzzy is M42 (Orion Nebula), the little bright knob on top is M43, and the blue fuzzy on top is NGC1977.

soulfrost, you can also see a "man running" in NGC1977 :))

btw Andrew, how many streaks did you manage to capture after you combined your frames?

I took out all the streaks using the Median function.

I did have one 'slow' streak that is interesting. Will run a check later on any asteroids passing by at that time!

Cheers!
