Western Veil an RGB practice

[Fay]

Not used to RGB, but found some old OIII & Sii data & had a practice. O=B. S=G. Ha=R/Ha=L, have to try some colour work.

18/8/12, 7x900, QSI ws, 0.85fr, 7nm ha, SW ED80, and 3x1200 SW120. RGB captured with Atik 314L, ED80. bit of a mish mash!

Nice one Fay, I love the way it appears to float before your eyes.

Thanks, not perfect , but have decided I must try colour! takes a while to get, as my skies not too good lately

Really nice. It makes that part of the Veil look so delicate and whispy - I've tried to image that myself so know that, whilst it's easy to find thanks to the big bright star, it can be hard to make it look good.

..............................or Hubble! S=R, Ha=G, O=B, Ha=L

That's a really lovely image Fay, and whilst I am not a fan of Hubble pallette the blue really stands out in that one.

Thanks Carole, i need to find out how to alter the background, too yellow.

That's an excellent example of this object Fay - the surrounding nebulosity eludes me in my attempts - you've processed this beautifully.

I particularly like the left of the broom (the top of the handle) you've got an almost 3d quality to it that I first noticed in Carol's award winning shot last year.

I struggle with the background on this as well as mine turns out quite yellow - and when I try to chase it away it destroys the rest of the image :-)

Thankyou David, very kind. I will soon sort the background out

Beautiful Fay - lovely detail I'm not keen on the Hubble palette either but that doesn't detract from the excellence.

[Fay]

Thanks Gina very much
