NGC7380 Wizard

I continue to plough through my backlog, much to the annoyance of my wife.......

This is 12 x 30 mins each of Ha, O111 and S11. I took these just before i had a pa failure (no known reason but little fingers were being blamed ) and looking at this, the stars aren't quite round so perhaps something was deteriorating and little fingers were indeed not to blame.

I am still learning my way around both Pixinsight and the finer points of colour balance etc as this HST pallette attempt isn't quite right.

Thanks for looking

Some lovely detail in that.

Thank you ??

Well done - lovely NB image.

Your blues are a little too purple and you can adjust this with Curves selecting Hue after masking the image (use a colour mask from the Script/Utilities menu) - be gentle as it is better to have repeated small iterations rather than one big adjustment.

Thanks for the tip Barry; i forgot about ColourMask 

I have had another play at this and to my eye this is starting to get a bit garish, but I'll stick it up anyway as it is all learning for me
