MartinB Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 This was captured over night on Saturday into Sunday.I was using Steve's ( FLO ) William Optics FLT 110 apo which I still have on loanI was really after the Ha starburst so gave it 4 hours of Ha in 20 min subs. Along with just 12x3 min lum with a CLS filter and 12 binned colour subs in each channel 44:40:56 secsI'm really pleased with the way the Ha has come out. There isn't much to see on the individual subs but 4 hours really allows you to push the stretching.(click to enlarge)A larger image and more details can be seen on my web site http://www.astropixels.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobH Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Excellent Martin,The Ha has really brought out the central region. I like the way you've combined it too, sometimes I've seen similar images but they've looked a bit artificial, yours is great CheersRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinB Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks a lot, I glad you liked it. It's nice when it comes out as planned. I used a method devised by Rus Croman for combining the Ha which works really nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
