ultranova Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hi Everyone, I took advantage of 3 clear nights over the full moon period and managed to bag myself 8 hours of Ha data for this take on sh2-155. what I found with this target was how faint some of the HA data was, and processing to try and keep some of the subtle data looking ok I am very tempted on adding OIII data but I would imagine that would take up my next 4 months imaging time if the HA data is anything to go by. In the end I will probably chicken out and add some rgb data hope you like it, criticisms welcome. Taken with Atik 383L at -15, 7nm ha filter 32x15 minute subs WO star 71 f4.9, Fl 350mm on top of a AZ-eq6gt Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Hi Olly, I did struggle with the processing on this one as there appears to be lots of dust and emission all over that area, I probably spent as long on the processing as the capture time, which isn't a bad thing as that part is the enjoyable part But I must have walked away from a finished image and started from scratch again 4-5 times 12 hours ago, Uranium235 said: I've pixel peeped those corners and yep.... its spot-on.... good image. Hi Rob, this was a first for me on the total sub time, normally only do around half that, I owe a lot of that down to the QHY pole master. 5 hours ago, swag72 said: Very nice - Great mono image of a really interesting object Thanks Sara, the thing is it was yours and Olly's brilliant takes on this target that inspired me to go for it, looking at your NB image you took in August 2014, I was contemplating in putting some OIII data with it but looking at your OIII total time and my bad sky conditions I will probably chicken out and add some RGB in the mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollypenrice Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 There are some nice little blue reflection components for sure. Might you have a look in colour? Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry-Wilson Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Another super Ha mono image. This target looks good with RGB too. Let's hope you have some clear skies to finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Barry , thanks, I think I will be going down the rgb route, mainly and sadly down to the amount of time it would take me to acquire the rest of the NB data, in saying that its all down to our UK weather ( rgb it is then ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxic Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 thats a very nice image Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickGilliland Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 OIII or RGB will complement this well captured target nicely - get what time allows - good work - Paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
