cfpendock Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 First time for imaging last night for a long time with this rig using a reducer to give around 350mm FL at f3.6. 20 x 15minutes Baader 7mm Ha filter with Tak106 and Atik 4000 as in sig. below. I might try for colour if we get the weather, but I'm not very impressed with what I have seen of this target for HaRGB - better in mono or narrowband, I think. Comments, criticisms much appreciated.

wxsatuser Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm really taking to Ha and that's a nice Soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact this one had minimal processing - a bit of curves and a bit of selective sharpening here and there... I have to confess that I too often over-process.

PatrickGilliland Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 That's a tidy mono well done. Paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfpendock Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Thank you very much, Paddy. I'm going to try and make a colour version with some O111...... Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filroden Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I think it stands up well in mono tough I can't wait to see bi-colour. I'd personally crop the sides and top borders just a little so the nebula fills even more of the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfpendock Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Thanks Ken. Actually, as you can see, the framing is not at all perfect - I've missed the bottom and got too much sky at the top! But actually I like some sky border around the various targets. Frequently my field of view is just too narrow. But thanks for your opinion anyway! The bi-colour will be very much of an experiment - I haven't done one before, and I intend to put some RGB stars in as well..... Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 nice Ha pig there. I gotta say though, I've seen some stunning nb images of this target I'll try and find a link Ah yes, here's one I know Sara (Swag72) has done a cracker of this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfpendock Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Thank you Scott. Yes, I have seen the ones you mention - and others too. They provide me with a standard to which to aspire..... Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnomus Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 The NB souls are good, but I wouldn't dismiss the HaLRGB ones altogether. Why not do both ... come on .... you know you want to.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all the data will be there if I get RGB for the stars. Ah yes, just remembered why not, I need a clear sky..... Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uranium235 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Looks good so far, but you might be waiting a while for colour... the Worcestershire weather has been rather pants for the last couple of weeks and shows no sign of improving. It "looks" clear tonight, but I didnt bother - the sky is far too "fuzzy" for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinB Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Looks great. Good data and nicely processed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
