Hello Astronomers,

I'm spending my clear moonless nights capturing narrowband data of M17, at 2032mm focal length through my 8" SCT, using my Cooled and modded 40D.

This image consists of HAlpha and OIII signal only, but as it turns out that both the HAlpha and OIII subs have a considerable amount of blue data in them, separated due to the DSLR being a OSC camera, so I used the red out of the HAlpha image, green from OIII green channel and added the blue from HAlpha (the Hbeta data) and blue from the OIII stack and used it as the blue channel, resulting in a almost natural color pseudo RGB image attached.

 

Clear skies,

MG
