NGC 7822 from some not so dark skies!

[Rustang]

I had packed my stuff up with the intention of waiting for some darker skies to come again but then discovered this nebula online and the rest is history! I really went around and around with the processing on this one, mainly because it was difficult data to deal with but I'm pleased with the results considering. Ive attached a couple of versions, first the colour palette that I prefer and the second more towards a normal HOO palette which I'm not normally keen on but I kinda like it on this target.

Captured over 5 nights, Ha= 7hrs, OIII= 5hrs 20mins.

 

Scope - SW80 ED DS PRO

Mount - SW HEQ5 PRO

Camera - QHY9 CCD Mono

Software - APT, PHD2, DSS, PS.

Fantastic again @Rustang  I had to look up this NGC number as I didn't recognise it was part of an area of sky I'm used to seeing with a wider FOV.  I really like this closer up shot too - both images look great.

Thanks mate, I hope to capture its entirety at some point down the line 🙂

So after getting some help on another thread in regards to my imaging/processing, here are two new processed versions of my HOO NGC7822 data that I'm much happier with. I havent sharpened or reduced the noise in the images as I wanted to allow the extra little bit of detail and natural sharpness to show through. I think I'm much happier with the subtly in colour also.

The first one gets my vote - I really like dusty brown nebula. Very nice.

First is my favourite too, the second was going for something new and still has something I like about it 🙂
