That's delightful, Jane!jampot wrote:Stitched at the eyepiece
The Orion Nebula (M42) and Running Man Nebula (SH2-279)
This unusual image was hand stitched by me over a period of 7 months, starting in June 2017 and is based on an image captured by Steve Richards using an SXVF-M25C and 100mm TS 100Q APO Refractor mounted on a Mesu 200 Mount. Steve captured 18 subframes of 300 secs. plus 11 subframes of 100 secs. to produce the original image which has a resolution of 3032 x 2016 pixels and a 16bit colour palette. Steve then produced a set of 12 A4 size counted cross-stitch patterns for me to work from.
The hand-stitched version has a resolution of just 216 x 216 cross-stitches (18 cross-stitches to the inch) and a colour palette of 82 colours. The whole circular image comprises 36,644 cross-stitches making a total of 73,288 individual stitches!
Hope you like it.
Regards,
Jane
