Actually, now that I've seen this on the forum I decided to take out the green and brighten the image up a little.

I've been trying to find different things to image so I had a go at what is technically HH555 (visible as a small jet) which I first saw on Sara's website (inspiration). This is 30 x 1200s n each of Ha, S2 and O3 - 30hrs in total. Minimal noise reduction and main processing in PI. This is actually version 12 or so as I've been trying different ways to achieve the Hubble palette with some very varied results. I left some green in as I think it adds to the colour transitions. Comments welcomed as always. Hope you like it!

Thank you!

This is my updated version of the Cygnus Wall. 10hrs each x 1200s in HA, Sii and Oiii. I've gone for far stronger colours this time to try and create something that stands out more. Might be too much for some but I think it works. Processing done in PI with colour adjustments in PS. Star reduction at the end. Just a spot of MLT noise reduction as i'm finding that with 10hrs in each filter, it hardly needs any. Thanks for looking! Comments welcomed as always.

This is what I like about narrowband. You choose your own palette and no one can say you’re wrong. To me, this looks way over saturated and I thought my version was bordering on over cooking. But does it matter? It’s a lovely image that’s pleasing to the creators eye and that’s what matters 👍😀

IC1396 in Hubble palette. 10 hours each in Ha, SII and O3. Small noise reduction as the data didn't need much. Gradients removed, not much background so it was quite difficult to do effectively. Combined in PI, colour adjustment in PS then back to PI for final colour tweaks. I left the green in as I prefer the transitions between the colour, SCNR turned everything a bit 2 tone for my liking. Hope you like it!

Thank you!

This is my take on M13. It's an HDR composition of 300s and 30s subs in LRGB. I did originally have 60s to add in as well but the colour went strange so i left them out. All processing done in PI. Total integration of around 11 hours. Thanks for looking.

Some great detail in that Steve, very nice.

Thanks. Anyone have any comments about the star colours? I'm new to the SW 100 Esprit and I don't think the colours look correct?

This is my take on M101. 36 x 600s Lum, 12 each RGB @ 600s. Processed in Pixinsight. Comments and criticisms welcomed as always. i@v encluded a cropped version too although there seems to be a lot of things going on in the background of the widefield. Link to hi-res below.

This is my take on these two popular targets. I used 600s exposures instead of my usual 300 to see if it made much difference. Total of 36 x 600s in Lum, 20 each x 600s of RGB. Processed in PI. I have cropped the image to show more detail in the galaxies. Comments and criticism welcomed as always.  Link to hi res is below.

My tuppence worth, I have recently moved up to the Moravian and it's excellent. That's all. ?
