NGC 281 - Pacman. 2 versions.

[shaunster]

The last 2 nights I have been shooting at the wizard and this one, the pacman. This one is far brighter and shortish subs work well with it.

I have shot 14 x 600s Ha and 10 x 720s O3 and made 2 different versions. A HA/o3/o3 version and a false hubble pallete version. All taken with Atik 383l+ and zenithstar 70 on HEQ5.

First up the standard red version.

And next the false hubble look, I got the idea after seeing antimorris (Anna) making a hubble look using only Ha and O3 data so I thought I would try it out.

These two images are using the same data, just proccessed differently... let me know what you think..

The top one gets my vote. Have you tried a better flattener ?

The top one gets my vote.

Yeh I like that one as well, was just a little bored of doing all red images until the moon is out the way to get proper s2

Have you tried a better flattener ?

No, im quite pleased by this flattener although it could be better I agree. I wasnt expecting miracles as the star distortion was really bad before and now I only notice it in the top left of the images. I could look out for a WOFF2 but they dont seem to come up very often.

Top one also gets my vote.

Good job there, & I'm impressed with the false hst palette using just ha & o3. No distracting magenta stars too, thumbs up!

Very nice shaun, great job.
