alan4908 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 A LRGB image of M106 with an Ha blend into the red channel. Along with the main galaxy (M106) and NGC4248 (bottom right), quite a few very distant galaxies can also be seen in the background. M106 is quite bright in Ha, so I decided to blend 6.5 hours into the red channel to obtain a more structural detail. The total image integration time was just under 16 hours and was taken with my Esprit 150. Alan LIGHTS: L:14, R:14, G:13, B:15 x 600s, Ha:13 x 1800s, DARKS:30. BIAS:100, FLATS:40 all at -20C.

Barry-Wilson Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Great image & colour balance Alan, especially the emerging detail in the outer arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceph Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Love the details in center and your choice of colors. I am sorry to say but my opinion is as I have been learned in this hobby is better to lie than telling what you really thinks. I hope you respects me after saying that your picture has great potentinal, I cant create it myself. But the fact is that the image is fuzzy all over but the center. Maybe some changes in the processing could fix it ? Else kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
