NGC 6888 - NARROWBAND BI-COLOUR

[Coco]

I have never attempted a bi colour narrow band image but have seen some great samples, I thought I'd have a bash this week as its now gone cloudy and the S2 is looking doubtful before a friends wedding coming up and then other commitments.

HA 6 X 900 SECONDS

O3 6 X 900 SECONDS

FALSE S2 HA(50%)+03

As I said Its a new one for me and a learning curve so please offer any advise to improve or just enjoy it as I do..

That's a cool rendition ! I'm playing with similar data (ha and oiii) for the same object at the moment and there are so many different ways

of mixing things that you always end up with something quite different, a bit like cooking...

beautiful example of the outer shell....super job Guy

[Martin-Devon]

A very nice image Guy, the outer rim can often be burnt out but you have controlled that well, and you also have a lovely blue outer shell as well which is tricky to bring out - great work!

Very nice indeed

[steppenwolf]

Very nice indeed, Guy - I too was struck by the clarity of that outer shell of gas - well done!

[swag72]

What a super image - I love the colours and the outer shell looks fantastic

[Coco]

Thank your for the encouraging comments peeps...

Catching the outer shell is not an easy task, well done great image!

[Uranium235]

Very nice, you've nailed that outer OIII shell

[Zakalwe]

Lovely detail for only 3 hours integration time.

That's very impressive, Guy!

I too have similar data (couple of hours of Ha and OIII, and managed 90 minutes of pretty ropey SII last night too before the clouds rolled in...). Was playing with bicolour last night but didn't get anywhere near as good as this.

You've done fantastically well to get the OIII halo and processed the colours beautifully.

Have you applied sharpening to this? Playing around last night I was surprised how much high pass it could take...
