New Hi Res H alpha images

 

Here are some of my more recent images, using the the Takahashi FS128. There is no need for an apo refractor as you are using monochromatic light, but that's all I have so I use it. It would be possible to use a simple singlet lens. All the images have been captured using a Basler digital camera, and Aquinto A4I Docu software, some enhancement in Adobe Photoshop, like levels, unsharp mask, and brightness and contrast tweaks. The images were taken using a red filter to produce a more contrasty B & W image, the colour of the prominence was added later in Photoshop.

They do take a while to load, but I thought they deserved to be a bit bigger.
