SH2-132 in narrowband

[Martin-Devon]

Taken over 5 nights in late August - many of these were hazy/misty which is quite typical in Devon this time of year so the data was a bit messy. Anyhow, I managed to get 20 x 20 mins H-alpha and 14 x 20 mins OIII, and processed these as OHO (=RGB) followed by Hubble palette conversion. I was inspired to have a shot at this target by Sara's nice image posted a couple of months ago.

It's a good narrowband target, rich in H-alpha and OIII so I'd encourage others to have a go at this one as well.

Thanks for looking,

Martin

Looks like a battle between fire and ice. Thats a beautiful looking image. Great job!

A super capture Martin. I do like this target very much, it's nice to have so much OIII for a change. Shame that it is so often overlooked. Nicely processed

Very dramatic image. Nice stars, and nicely framed. Not sure about the colours but that's just me....

Very nice indeed.

Thanks for the comments everybody - much appreciated. I know that the colours are strong & vibrant, which may not be to everybody's taste - many times the colours with narrowband images are like this, they can divide opinion since there is a lot of flexibility on colour choice and strength.

Hi Martin 

Seems that everyone who processes this target my nemesis target is far more capable of producing a nice version.  The stars are handled very well (the bit i could not do at all) and the colours are very striking.  Nice to see some data from you not seen any for a while.  Hope all is well with you.

Did you remove the OIII from the core? (Lions Den?)  I found that region to have allot OIII.
