NGC 1499, DSLR

[lensman57]

Hi,

Taken last night as a consolation prize to a night of many problems. Once the clouds arrived and I packed up and came in the sky cleared up as usual so I didn't get the chance to capture the planned Ha subs.

Only 5 X 600s, WO star 71, Canon 1100d ( Baader modded ) @ iso 1600. Darks and Bias. Processed in PI and PS.

Regards,

Nice image!

Great image, well done.

Thank you all,

I found some Ha data from last month taken with my 383L and a Baader 7 nm  filter, after registering in PI I then combined them in PS. First Ha to the red channel of the OSC data and then about 33% as Lum. After some tweaking this is the result, not a huge difference but subtly richer.

Hope you like it.

Regards,

A.G

It is nice, but what's with your star shapes? It looks like you have screws intruding in the light path in your tube!

Thanks Per,

The tube is clean and clear but I seem to suffer from a bit of camera tilt and some halos due to the filters, depending on which filter is mounted I seem to get varying shapes and sizes of halos.

The second image looks much better than the first. A massive object and you captured all of it. Looks good!

Maybe try to fix the stars in PI with a masked stretch or in PS with minimum filter? Harry has a good tutorial for masked stretch and its fairly easy even using the dreaded Pixel Math.

Hi JB,

Thanks for the pointer, with regret I have tried the pixel math star transposing with little success as the final image looks wrong, even worst than the present one.
