Elephant Trunk nebula mosaic in narrowband

[jijc76]

Hello everyone !!!, 

after 15 days shooting photos and something more than a week processing ..., I present my new tile, 6 tiles per filter. This image consists of Elephant Trunk nebula in narrowband, I hope you like it !!

My equipment is as follows:

Principal telescope and camera TMB105 / 650 + QHY9M

Guided EZ60-II + QHY5L

AZ-EQ6 mount

Narrowband filter set Baader 2 "

I recommend seeing it at full resolution and lost within the image

That is so pretty it makes me want to cry! [emoji6]

Damm you narrowband imagers, posting Hubble quality pics!! Makes me want to go CCD and I just can't afford it.

A true work of art, that is. How do you manage to get the tiling so seamless? Do you edit each tile the exact same way or do you stitch them together before editing?

Thank you very much !!, no, I explain to you:

before attaching the mosaic tiles and create what I do it is:

1- Stack

2- Cut

In Pixinsight Star aligment use to create the mosaic. The problem is that each tile may have a different noise, etc .., for that, then I use the "Merge Mosaic" tool, this tool generates seamless mosaic.

Then do the DBE and stretch the image and begin to process it

If you want to know more exactly how it's done, I can translate a mannual I did (this in Spanish).

Cheers

That's a wonderful image - looks very natural and none of the processing has been forced or pushed - just perfect!

That's a lovely delicate image processed calmly and without exaggeration. In fact it doesn't look processed at all, which is the sign of a good image.
