The Whirling Dervish in Hubble Palette

[Mr_42tr0nomy]

Hey guys!

I posted my first rendition of this object last week but it was more of an HOO looking rendition rather than an SHO version. I preferred the look without the green hues coming from the HA data.. I did some practice with pixelmath and finally came up with an SHO version that I like. This is my first time actually playing with three narrowband channels so I hope you all like it!

Equipment:
GSO8RC, EdgeHD8
Cem 60
Astrodon Ha/Oiii/Sii 3nm
ASI1600mm-c

100hrs total exposure time (collaboration with a friend)
50hrs HA
25hrs Oiii
25hrs Sii

That’s simply stunning. One anyone should be proud of.  All the effort has paid off clearly

Thank you very much Danny! It’s funny how effort put forth is data acquisition makes processing effort lesser. Much lesser. Some simple deconvolution, and color correction was all I needed to do!

Great image.  100 hours!!!!  I only got 100 hours imaging time over about 2 years.

Yeah I know how that feels. This project actually took about two weeks. Back in Ohio that would not have been the case

Very nice, I like both versions.
