HOO Heart GIF

[Adreneline]

Clear nights have been a rarity of late. Even getting a modest amount of Ha and OIII has proven to be frustratingly difficult. As for SII - no hope.

This is 20 x 300s Ha and 22 x 300s OIII using a RedCat 51 with ASI1600MM. Hardly enough data to do this justice but enough to make a GIF.

Pre-processed in APP and post-processed in PI. I used one of the many online tools to make the GIF.

Fantastic images Adrian and I wouldn't have guessed the integration time being that challenging.

Clean, crisp, bags of detail, well balanced and some lovely palette options for just the Ha and OIII being available.

A stand out image....images.

Thank you Lee for the generous comments.

I am trying to keep everything in balance by not overstretching the OIII data and increasing the noise disproportionately. I am also trying to keep the histogram aligned which is difficult when using Ha and L - maybe I need to experiment in this area a bit more. I used 0.3*Ha + 0.7*OIII for G with pure Ha and OIII in R and B.

Managed to get some SII last night - 30x300s worth - so I'll try and pull together an SHO version and add that to the GIF-mix!

Thanks again.

I agree really really great.  Looks like quality data.

Thank you Adam.

Having finally settled in Lincolnshire the skies round here are seriously dark once the few street lights have gone out so data tends to be very clean providing the 'seeing' is good. Hopefully last night's SII will hold up to scrutiny once I start processing.
