Rosette Nebula Ha OIII Bi colour

[Nigel G]

I had a lucky 3 hour clear slot last night again, almost ruined by my imaging PC not firing up, I twiddled and poked a few wires inside and got it started. I decided to take OIII on the Rosette to add to the Ha I have. Quite pleased I did now. I got 1h 42m of good subs. Processed both then layered in StarTools. So many different variety's can be made by shifting the amounts of Ha & OIII. This is my favourite so far.

The OIII seems to give the image depth.

That’s Great! You’re getting on well with the oiii filter.

Agreed about the 3d effect. I think it is the way the pink at the top of the central 'hole' get gradually deeper red as it gets towards the inner edge. Nice one.

Thanks for your kind comments.

I have enjoyed the narrow band filters, getting to know what is needed, 6 minutes seems to be the right amount for OIII, much less banding too
