Cone Nebula widefield

[tooth_dr]

3 hours and 25 minutes in 300s subs

83% moon phase

3nm Chroma Ha filter 

QHY 268M / Gain 56 Offset 30

APM LZOS 105/650 with x0.75 M63 RIR

I'm hoping to add 2 panels (one above and one below), but so far really liking what I'm seeing here.  The detail with the APM is phenomenal coupled with the 3nm filter and the IMX571, a nice resolution of 1.5"/px.

 

C+C welcome

Agreed, looks fantastic, with a lot of depth and detail.

Cheers Lee.

I got a few subs on panel 2, and did get some RGB data, but unfortunately I hasnt realised the OAG prism was aligned with the long axis so it's caused a weird artefact.

9.5 hours data now, still looks a little noisy on the left side, probably due to lack of Ha signal:

It looks really good to my eyes Adam.

What, if any, noise reduction have you done?

Cheers Adrian.  I just stacked it in APP, DPP stretch, opened in PS, StarXTerminator and then NoiseXTerminator at 50%.

Stunning, it’s amazing how much more detail shows up in starless versions…👏🏻👏🏻

Lovely Adam.  Any little noise grain is fairly "clean" so it's barely noticeable to my eye.

Thanks Lee.  I've about 8 hours of OSC data to add to this, so am looking forward to seeing what it does to the dark dusty regions.

Very very nice! Great to see some mono shots, I always feel like I see a lot more structure and detail in black & white shots.

[tooth_dr]

Thanks @Grant do like these mono images myself too.

Also just realised I stacked the data without any calibration files 🙄 so doing another run through APP now.

[tooth_dr]

I just threw the OSC and HA colour together this morning.  Only have 2 hours of OSC per panel, so intend to add to this and get some luminance.  Some nice dust and dark stuff to bring out once I get a few more hours of data.

2 hours of OSC isnt quite enough, so I hadnt planned on processing this, but you know you sit down at the PC for five minutes and next thing 2 hours has gone by!  Just a crop of the left hand edge.
