ic1805 Heart Nebula bi-colour

[ChrisLX200]

Also last night, I added an OIII channel to the Ha data I captured a month ago to create this bi-colour image. It needs the SII channel as well I think as the OIII is weak and alone gets swamped by the Ha.

Very nice capture. Nots of detail there.

I really like this.  Cracking fine detail and a brilliant FOV.  I'd like to see your full NB of this if you do it.

I feel there's a real 3D quality to this Chris - While I'd normally like to see more blue, you look into the middle and just fall in, it's perfect as it is!! ....... superb

Nice image--Here's my attempt at the Heart.  I had great Ha subs, sub par color subs, and of course my processing skills are everything they are expected to be at 1 month old.  Any advise would be welcomed.

Thanks,

Rodd

I think you'd be better starting your own thread Rodd to be honest. It's a little bit of bad form to jump onto to someone elses thread with your own pictures asking for help and advise

Thanks Ian, I;d like to see the SII channel as well - sadly the weather says otherwise ;-(

That's lovely Chris.

Thanks Richard, glad you like it ;-)

Chris - that's a very nice bi-colour version of the Heart, and you've captured a surprising amount of additional nebulosity around the main target as well that's not often seen.

Sara,

I apologize if I acted in a manner that you feel to be inappropriate.  In my defense, I scrutinized the code of conduct and found nothing indicating my actions were inappropriate.  How else to present an example with a question to someone whom one hopes might respond?  An image is the only way to efficiently ask a question regarding a specific thing in this hobby.  Starting my own thread would no doubt result in an empty thread and not provide the desired effect (advise from someone specific).  Since it is easy to ignore posts, and since only positive results can ensue through such posting, I didn't, and don't, see the harm.   It would have been nice to believe that my request for advise would be welcomed by all visitors.  Since that is not the case, please note that my request was directed to Chris.  Since Chris did not respond, I assume he wishes not to respond.  Hence, no further posts by me regarding this matter.  I was under the impression that this "board" was intended to foster the free flow of ideas related to AP.  Kind of like a conversation in a crowd?  Some comments/questions will be ignored by the group.  As long as they are not in violation of the code of conduct of the event, no harm, no foul.

But I am effectively chastised and won't intrude again.

No, the difficulty here Rod is that (after looking at your image) there is no quick or brief answer to your query, if there were I would have posted a reply. I don't know why you think you would end up with an empty thread if you posted a new topic, especially when asking for help. We on here are only too glad to help but if it were done in this thread then it would be out of place - indexed wrongly so others with similar problems would never find it. Post it in the appropriate sub-forum and I assure you people will get involved and try to help.
