North American nebula, hubble palette

[Martin-Devon]

Taken over several nights late July and early August, this is a 2 frame mosaic taken with a TakFSQ106/QSI690 on a AP Mach-1 mount, data for each frame collected using CCD Commander and consists of 12 x 10 minutes H-alpha, 9 x 10 minutes OIII and 9 x 10 minutes of SII. Processed using Photoshop in hubble palette. Thanks for looking, Martin.

A very beautiful image perfectly taken and processed, love the colours, the well controlled contrast, and I just love that dust

Very nice image in every way, these two here really do look like there names.

Thanks for your comments. It's difficult to get a decent run of clear nights here in Devon, especially when there's no Moon light around, but I may add some more frames to this this image to widen the FOV even further, so perhaps end up with a 4 frame mosaic - will need the night skies to play ball though!
