NGC 7635 - The Bubble

[lux eterna]

Hi all,

Last November I imaged the Bubble on a few occations with my Meade LX200-ACF and Nikon D7000 on SW HEQ5 Pro, guided with a standalone Nexguider. I managed some 10 hours under pretty good skies, plus 2 hours with H-alpha filter from my small town backyard. So almost 12 hours together (after rejecting every sub with just the slightest defect like non-circular or diffuse small stars).

Registering (aligning) was done in Registar, and stacking & processing in PS. I also used the Straton software that removes (most of) the stars, after initial stretching, then I put them back using the "lighten" blending mode.

C & C most welcome

Ragnar

Very good. Your separate star field processing technique works well !

Wow! Your technique produces excellent results! The bubble pops right out of the star field!

Thanks Alan,

Yes, this time it worked - but I´m not sure I could repeat it I should start from scratch.
