Jellyfish with OIII added

[MartinB]

Olly mentioned recently about the OIII around the Jellyfish.  I imaged it with Ha and RGB 6 years ago so dug out that data and have now added 13x20mins OIII into the mix.  It's there but I didn't find it that easy to combine and keep it looking natural.

Scope: Tak FSQ 106

Camera: QSI 532wsg

Filters: Baader Ha and OIII  Astronomic for RGB

Captured with Maxim, deconvolved in CCDsharp and finished in PS.  That flippin bright star has had some very non PI therapy, there might have been some resort to clone stamping!

I think that looks fantastic!

I've never noticed how much is going on in the left of this object before.

Thanks for uploading

That is a really nice jellyfish.  I find that colour images of this object lose detail when they are Ha with RGB, but just in narrowband you have got all the detail.  Very nice image.

Another great Jellfish! The OIII really brings this target to life.

I was hoping to add some OIII to my Ha but no such luck. All set to go in SGPro with 20x600s. I wonder if I should try 10x1200s instead?

Very nice image. The OIII certainly adds some interesting feature.

Excellent result stamping or not.

That looks wonderful Martin. Definitely worth adding the OIII as it really does enhance the image no end. Great work.

I think it looks great. My processing on this was much more gung-ho, I confess! Yours is nice and delicate. The trouble with the Jellyfish as a target is its rather uniform fusty red colour and I think the OIII really adds colour interest.

I really like the added OIII colour ..... quite subtle but very effective.

Beautiful Martin - excellent treatment of the OIII shell.  The blue is so graceful accentuating the outer limb.  Your extra OIII was certainly worth it.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

I had to hold back with the Ha to prevent it overwhelming the OIII so that helped.

Averil and I have been lying in the tent admiring this image. Yet another bench mark to aspire to.
