North American Nebula HA

[Rudeviewer]

Finally got an image again!  Its been a long few months trying to get my guiding working properly again, to find my permanent mount came out of polar alignment.  I was able to gather 10 mins HA subs on the North American Nebula.  Quick process in Pixinsight and then finished it up in Photoshop CS2.  Came out well for a quick process i think.  I can tell my spacing still isn't quite right but ill work on that.  Just glad to get an image again.  This is the start to my NA nebula narrowband image.  

18 x 10 min subs with darks and bias calib files no flats.

 

I've added OIII to the HA in the image further down in the post.

What equipment did you use?

This is a CGEM DX mount, a atik 383l+ mono ccd, starlight xpress usb filter wheel 36mm filters, a williams optics GT81 scope with .8 focal reducer/flattener, a Orion SSAG pro and 50mm guidescope.

Cracking image!

I never noticed it before but the na nebula looks like an elephant from this angle.

Whats next do you plan on adding any oIII?

[Rudeviewer]

Wow!  I never noticed this either.  Sure does! 

Yes i will be adding SII and OIII with the same length subs.

Thank you very much.  I can't wait to get some color put into this one for sure.

Here is my Bicolor version with 3 hours 30 mins of OIII added to the HA.  I  played around with different color versions but i prefer this one.
