IC1805 Bicolor (H-alpha/OIII)

[Avdhoeven]

Last night I used the TEC-140 to record an entire night IC1805 (Heart nebula). I imaged from about 12 midnight to 6 in the morning while I was sleeping. Results was 11 images of 30 minutes in OIII. I combined these with my earlier H-alpha images. Then I created a synthetic green channel from the H-alpha (red) and OIII (blue). I like this combination a lot because it keeps stars natural colored and gives a nice color balance.

Now just one more night S2 data...

Info:

TEC-140/NEQ-6

SXV-H9 CCD camera

Astrodon 3nm OIII filter/Custom Scientific 4,5nm H-alpha

11x1800s OIII / 9x1800s H-alpha

Awesome!

Just wish I could get similar results from my SXV-H9.

I made also a version with a different color palet. I like this even more I think....

Hmm beautiful and big, love the twists and knots. I prefer the first version by the way.

You must have an amazing guider for 30min subs, those stars are perfectly round! Stunning Image!!!

[Avdhoeven]

Thanks. Guiding is done using a Celestron OAG and a DMK21 with icx618 chip on an eq6....

[Avdhoeven]

Recently I have been working on the noise in the image. This is the latest version....

[Gina]

That is just fabulous

Hiya

Hope you don't mind, but a quick play shows that there's still more data there that can be teased out:
