Summary edit

Description

Subject: M42, M43, NGC1973, NGC1975, NGC1977, NGC1980, NGC1981

Image FOV = 3 by 2.5 degrees

Image Scale = 8 arc-second/pixel

Date: 2006/12/15, 2006/12/19, 2006/12/28, 2006/12/30, 2007/01/10

Exposure (H-alpha): 39x600s + 25x60s + 15x20s = 7h, ISO 800, Baader 7nm H-alpha filter

Exposure (RGB): 51x240s + 18x10s = 3h27m, ISO800, Astronomik UHC filter

Camera: Hutech-modified Canon 30D

Telescope: SV80S 80mm f/6 + TV TRF-2008 0.8X reducer/flattener = 384mm FL, f/4.8

Mount: Losmandy G-11

Guiding: ST-402 autoguider and SV66 guidescope. MaximDL autoguiding software using 1-second guide exposures

Processing: Raw conversion and calibration with ImagesPlus (dark and bias frames only, no flat frames); Aligning and combining with Registar; Layering, levels, curves, color balancing, blur, crop/resize, JPEG conversion with Photoshop CS. UHC red channel was replaced by the H-alpha red channel in Photoshop. This, plus the use of the UHC filter for RGB data, seems to cause color balance problems.
