NGC 7129

[Tom OD]

This was a bit of an experimental shot. I figured that the object is a bit small for 530mm, so i decided to go for some background dust, and add in Ha while the moon was rising early in the mornings.

This is a central frame crop of the Atik 11000 and FSQ106N. LHaRGB 23.5 hours in total (7.5:7:3:3:3).

The Ha did nothing to the pinkish areas in the nebula, they were already well picked up with the Red data.

Nice shot Tom.

May be a bit star reduction to get the nebula shining.

Nice one Tom, funnily enough I made a start on the same subject last night but high thin cloud spoiled my subs. Better luck tonight maybe, hope it turns out as well as yours.

Very nice

Thanks for the comments. Good point Mark, I star reduced the Lum layer in PI but think my mask only got the smaller stars. Never did a Star min in PS when I as finishing the pic. I'll go do that.
