Ok I'm not gonna lie. This is probably bragging
Lots of people on here have great things happen to themselves and to their kids. Having no kids and only a couple dogs that are unlikely to win any awards I did get this today. I think it's kinda cool and screw anyone if repost.

It's nice when family and friends like your work but when NASA picks your photo out of the 100,000 they get a year it's pretty amazing.

Anyway Go to

Or here's a couple screen captures from my iPad app

You don't have to go into 3 million other things, but would you mind giving us the cliffs notes? For example...
  1. What type of telescope and camera did you use?
  2. When you say 45 hours, I assume that's spread out over a very long period of time. I assume there's some sort of computerized system to keep it pointed in the right direction all that time?
  3. I assume you did at least some post-processing to clean it up, but can you expand on how much was required?

Really fantastic work for (I assume) a hobbyist.

Actually yes you do. I have a timelapse I did of it tracking things in the nite sky. Its freaky at hyper speed. When you are watching it in real time there is no apparent motion.

Ill give you more of the details. This was actually shot with a QHY 12 which is a One Shot Color camera. There is just over 45 hours of exposure. Since this is a OSC camera its really the equivalent of 135 hours of RBG data. There were about 10 hours of 20 minute exposures and 10 hours of 15 minute exposures I think that really helped with the dust. The rest were 5 and 10 minutes exposures. I gathered them from mid November till early January. The telescope was a Williams Optics GTF refractor of 81mm aperture.

I just happen to love M45 and really wanted to get as much detail as was humanly possible from down here on earth. The imaging was taken about 80 miles south of Kansas City in a pretty remote area. No towns over 100 population for 20 miles. It has very favorable skies.

This is pretty much what I've been sending to inquiries today. And yes it does track the sky on an odd looking mount. If you want I'l put a video up so you can see how it looks in fast motion.

Awesome work, Dave. I've always admired your accomplishments. You're a driven guy. You deserve it. It's so amazing that all that stuff in your photo came from a single explosion at random. Heh. I'm not trying to offtrack your thread with passive aggressive BS. We're friends so you know what I mean.
