IC1805 (Heart nebula) in a rather bright false colour!

[swag72]

This is more of an experiment than anything. I have the Ha for IC1805 already, a 2 pane mosaic. I thought I'd go for some OIII and SII for a full HST palette, but decided that while the weather is breaking and I'm waiting for the lower OIII pane I'd see how a Bi colour and a synthetic green would go.

The HOO bi colour was OK, nice and red!! The H(G)O was ...... yellow!! I used Cannistra's synthetic channel method instead of Noels actions which is what I usually do. Despite the yellow colour, I thought that Cannistra's method gave a more pleasing colour and depth. So I merged the bi colour and H(G)O and got the image below.

Details:

M: HEQ5

T: Takahashi FSQ85 0.73x

C; Atik 460EX mono, 3nm OIII and 3nm Ha

12x1800s Ha

12x1800s OIII

It's very bright, it won't be everyone's cup of tea I know.

Very nice indeed Sara

[WaveSoarer]

Lovely work Sara. Amazing.

[Epicycle]

Quite spectacular. I saw the picture at astrobin at full resolution and the colours are impressive!

[ultranova]

Wow Sara, you were right it is bright, I love it

It really brings the detail and complexity of whats going

on in that area.

Nicley done

Ah yes.. the appendage in glorious colour ....

.. it's bright alright. Now that, would look very nice up on the wall. Goes down well with a nice cup'o tea

There's nothing like a bit of experimentation...

[swag72]

Thanks all - Oh why do I always have to snigger when I see this imaged?

Hoping to get the second pane tonight and bet I cannot process it the same tomorrow when I've got the whole nebula in glorious technicolour!!!

I take it you mean the Member's Nebula? Please don't be silly or licentious on SGL!

I like this.

Yes, the colours are strong but they are more 'Hills of Provence' than 'Caesar's Palace at Las Vegas.' The stas have nice clean edges and they are 'Astrodon small!' While dangerously sharp this image is also smooth and clean. I like it.

Sara, RGB, RGB, RGB... You are being led astray by demons.

Thanks Olly - We'll convert you yet to full narrowband imaging!!!

[x6gas]

I like this very much Sara and the colours are fabulous. It is bright, but it's not over the top.

This is one of those targets that really sings in colour looking forward to the full tri-band too.

[Martin-Devon]

It's an experiment that's worked Sara - very well done, some innovative blending of colour palettes here and it just works!

Martin

[swag72]

Thanks Ian and Martin - You know that I'll never manage to blend the colours the same ever again?!!!

[Uranium235]

Cor... pass me the sunglasses!

Interesting use of the colour data, are you going for some SII?

[Freddie]

That cup of tea looks good to me!! Have only just started with OIII and SII myself and I often think the very vivid colours help with the overall look. Very nice.

[zakky2k]

Gorgeous shot!

Personally I think the colours look great.

Do you normally shoot such long subs?

[andyo]

great capture

[tferrari]

Great work here

[swag72]

Thanks all for your comments - Yes I always short 30 minute subs for narrowband and probably 5 minute ones for RGB.

[cloudbuster]

Liking this a lot Sara. The colours aren't subtle, but there's something about this image....

Quite right too. Don't let's go there!!!

Olly

[JamesF]

It's certainly a lovely image. The vibrant colours really show off the detail I reckon.

James

[swag72]

Quite right too. Don't let's go there!!!

Thanks James
