Tim Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Mike, try out some long blue exposures, you can catch the wispy blue reflective element that way. There is a ton of signal in oiii and sii as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks Tim, I will give the blue another look as I have some 480 second data in the bag.OIII and SII will have to wait till after father Xmas comes.Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Quick process with the colour data so far to see whats needed.The image as a LRGB image with Ha/Ha-G-BHa = 14 @ 900 G = 5 @ 480 B = 4 @ 690I think it needs more colour data to bring the background noise down and it looks like I am going to have to shoot some red data to correct the star colours ( too blue).I may also run some luminance to help bring the blue core out more.Mike.

x6gas Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 This is looking fantastic Mike - I'm loving the colour version and more data will only improve it further.Which scope were you using for this? I'd assumed your 250px... but no diffraction spikes has got me wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great looking at people's images and I hope one day I'll be able to turf out something half as beautiful!
