M1 with the wrong filter

[MartinB]

Last week I meant to add some more Ha and OIII to some Ha data from Kelling. After running everything for about 4 hours seems I changed the wrong filter when I put the OIII into the wheel so got 2 hours of CLS

The Ha is about 3 1/2 hours - mix of 15mins and 10mins. 12x10mins CLS Interesting to compare the 2. Also messed around creating a sort of colour image by using CLS for blue and creating a synthetic green.

10" LX200R with 0.63 reducer guided with SX active optics. Captured with maxim. 2 iterations of deconvolution with CCD sharp for both HA and CLS. Finished in PS

I will get some OIII one day!

Wow Martin, if that's a work in progress I can't wait to see the finished article. They are sharp images.

That looks awesome Martin, when you get the OIII it'll be a real wow image.

Thanks everyone

I think I''ll just be happy for a bit of OIII for now! Get the data in the bank and can get some SII next year maybe - if I'm feeling very keen.

Very very nice result you have there, even with the error!

That is a superb image Martin, despite the filter error. The detail and image scale is fantastic.

Beautiful image of The Crab Martin.

You can't beat this object at High Res.

Such fantastic sharp detail - and as Rog said, some fine processing as well.

Stunning work Martin. This is far beyond amateur category Imaging.

This is destined for publication in my estimation.

Lovely image Martin, well done.

Also, many thanks for the Imaging primers that I have been working through, they're a revelation.

That's a mistake I have often made!

However, in this case the CLS has worked really well, so perhaps it is serendipity.

One of the best crabs of the season.
