A subtler Soul

[bluedandelion]

Here's a portion of the Soul Nebula imaged from my backyard in Western Washington state in the U.S. This is a narrowband blend with Ha, SII and OIII.

Thanks for looking.

Interesting. Can you post your exposure times for each? Thanks

Eleven 10 minute subs each of Ha, SII and OII with a TMB 130ss and an Atik 384L+.

Looks good - There's some interesting areas of the soul nebula if you can focus in on them.

That's very nice Ajay. I love the contrast, almost looks 3D.

Thank you Sara and Bryan.

Bryan, here's a trick I read in an old physics book. Close one eye when you look at a flat image or a movie where hints of perspective are strong like vanishing points or contrast gradation. Your brain loses informatoin about the flatness of the page or screen because you are only looking with one eye. The image then looks 3-d. Works even with movies. I am not sure this works for everyone. Also while watching movies, your eye tires out after a while.

I do like your processing style, free from exaggeration and with nice stars. You obviously had good data as well.
