Soul Nebula HaOO

[don4l]

This is the Soul taken with my new 16200 camera.  I should really have taken it at F5, but I am doing a mosaic with the Heart, so I wanted the wider FOV.

Exposure:  Ha 85m 1x1,  OIII 50m 2x2

Equipment: Moravian 16200,  Chroma 3nm filters, Tak FSQ106 at F3.6.  EQ6

S/W  CCDCiel,  CCDStack,  The Gimp

There isn't much processing in this image.  The frames were calibrated, aligned, and colour combined in CCDStack.  The Ha was used as Lum in the Gimp, and the contrast was enhanced using Overlay mode to combine a duplicate of the image itself.

I would have had to spend hours processing this with my old camera.  There just doesn't appear that there is much to be done with the data from this new camera - or maybe I just need to up my game.   I can certainly see how more exposure would make the image better in a way that I just didn't understand before.

Comments would be very welcome.
