Orion and Comet Lovejoy images from Arizona, February 2015

[spark802]

Captured these two images from my trip to Arizona Feb 2015. I shot Orion in wide=field as a piggyback on my scope set up...Canon 550d,f/5.0,436 secs,ISO3200, kit lens at 36mm.

For Lovejoy I shot through my 6 inch newt at ISO 800,for 300 secs guided.

nice pix :)

you are just starting to see Barnard's Loop in the Orion pic
with a little processing you could probably really make it stand out

great Lovejoy pic too

cheers

the thing about my processing skills so far is I have a tendency of stretching it out too far and then do not know how to fix the background...I will keep trying though.thanks for the compliment
