M27 narrowband

This is 6x10min subs each for OIII and Ha. Ha assigned to red and OII to blue. Noels bits conjured up a synthetic green. I am pleased with the end result. Dark calibrated but messed up my flats or I fancy I might have been able to pull a little more of the peripheral faint stuff without pushing it too much. The scope was a WO FLT110 and the camera was an SXV H9.

I shall return to this to reprocess when awake tomorrow and remember to click "proof colours" as well!

Cheers

Looks like it should be a great image Anthony, but I'm having a little trouble making it out - it appears too dark.

Maybe you could push up the histogram a little?

Great result Anthony, the biggie looks fantastic, I like the colours a lot, and the amount off detail is excellent. You think you could get more you say, blimey I want to see that.

Fine work indeed.

Doesn't look too dark to me, looks wonderful. Very smooth and natural.

Cheers Guys.

On reflection maybe a little dark but a case of not pushing rather than clipping. Too much effort and it starts getting noisy.

I think monitors might be an issue here (mine is bog standard). However, I have gone back and pushed the original.

I have also processed from scratch again, this time i have processed the Ha and OIII before the RGB combine and green synth. The result is different (shame the nice green is gone) but I am still quite happy with it.
