Still not quite happy with this one, but here it is.

This is 70×300s O, 70×300s S, and 50×300s 

C8, asi1600mm pro, Zwo S,H,O filters

Processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop with the usual SHO processing. 

Questions / comments welcome.

Love the colours!  

[steppenwolf]

Excellent colours - I really like that.

[Adreneline]

Excellent - I really like the framing and the colour balance.

Not sure if you know but there is a very effective PixelMath script on the PixInsight forum for removing/reducing the magenta halos from stars. I have found it works a treat when doing SHO images.

Lovely colours and great processing..... ????

Stunning image, lovely colours.

[Jkulin]

That really is lovely, I have just completed capturing about 7 hours of data of the same object in the same orientation and I doubt my processing will come anywhere near yours, my RC has a little tilt to rectify as well.

This was a single screen grab of the first 1200s Ha that came off as I have yet to grab my flats and process yet, but your image has given me something to try and achieve, but truthfully I doubt that mine will be anywhere near as good.

Excellent, truly excellent

The script is implemented in Pixinsight itself, no need to search the forum,- Script is called "Collor Mask" and does a great job with Magneta!

Don't put yourself down,  your work in progress looks very promising.

What scope and camera did you use ?

[Jkulin]

Thank-you Dave, I always will be my biggest critic and there is loads wrong with it, hopefully when I start to process then can sort much of it out.

I'm using my 8" F8 RC with my Moravian G2-8300 MKII Camera.

I'll try and get my flats done this PM and then can start to put things together.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments!

Thanks, I'll have to try it out.

Keep at it. That's very promising for a single exposure. Also, I've found if things don't look right, add more data!

[Jkulin]

Thanks, Yep I'm sure you are right, that image was just grabbed with the sniping tool, I have 10 x 1200s of Ha, 8 x 1200s of OIII and 8 x 1200s of SII, and I'm sure I am going to need more OIII and SII, I'm 3/4's of the way through my flats now that are churning away and will then combine in PI and see what is needed to make it look right.

I very much doubt that mine will come even close to how good yours looks, you really have processed that nicely.?

A  very fine image, congratulations.
