LBN673

[alan4908]

LBN673 is the centre of the Soul Nebula (SH2-199), a star forming region located in Cassiopeia.

The image below represents 10 hours integration time and was taken with my Esprit 150.

I used a Pixinsight Script from Mike Cranfield called NBColourMapper (see https://www.cosmicphotons.com/pi-scripts/nbcolourmapper/) with the intent of creating a natural looking image from my narrow band data.  The script works by colourising grey scale images with a particular Hue and Saturation and then blends them, all with a real time preview. The technique is similar to my previous Photoshop based approach but this has the advantage of also working with linear (eg unstretched) images.
