IC410 12hr Exposure

[HunterHarling]

I captured OIII data the other night and was able to get a bi-color image. This is my first color image of 2020 and it looks like it's going to be a good year for astronomy.

This is a pretty quick process, I'm considering adding RGB for the stars but there are other great targets that I could be imaging... Probably won't be adding SII though, since my SHO images seem to turn out worse than my HOO ones.

Ha: 55x430s

OIII: 45x430s

 

Thanks for looking, as always comments appreciated.

Fantastic image.

This is going to be my next target.  

I think I will take your lead and go for Ha and OIII only.  Might add just a few RGBs just to get coloured stars.

Nice image and detail

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it

Very good depth to the image..great job

Very nice Hunter the hours of integration show a very smooth image. 

Regarding the RGB stars, I am trying to make a habit of doing these, and I do very short 150sec binned RGB subs and I find just for the stars about 3 of each is plenty.  150secs x 3 x 3 = 900 secs (15mins), I just do them in sequence whilst capturing the Ha and Oiii and once I have 3 of each I stop capturing them).

Thanks, Carole. Would binning 2x2 be helpful for a CMOS camera? I'm surprised that 150s is enough, I'll have to try this on my next image.

Theres hardly any SII in it anyway iirc.

Sorry, did not notice it was CMOS.  No idea I am afraid.

I think it looks great.
