M82-L-Ha/R-G-B 2010/12/13

[MikeD]

Hi all,

I shot some Ha, RGB and some more L for this shot over the weekend.

So I Now have,

L = 39 @ 600 seconds ( 14 from 2012 and 25 from 2013)

R = 4 @ 1200 seconds

G = 18@ 300 seconds

B = 10 @ 360 seconds

Ha = 7 @ 1800 seconds

I also added some core detail from an L-Ha/r-g-b image I shot in 2010.

All shot with my 10" newt HX916 CCD, LRGB, CLS and Ha filters.

Thanks for looking.

Mike.

Gorgeous, Mike. Sharp and detailed but with a soft touch that makes it look as if you're not pushing at all. Bang on the money. Background sky's super as well.

Thanks Olly, that is the pay off for time put in at the scope.

The more data I have the less work I have to put in on the processing and the more natural looking the result.

Mike.
