Miracles of Auriga again - SHO.

[Vroobel]

Hi,

After a longer time, I think presenting some DSO images would be nice, at least for myself.    I learned an SHO post-processing for around half a year and I still cannot say that I know enough, we learn all the time. I watched a lot of YT tutorials and compiled the knowledge into a digestible form, so hopefully, I can keep this level. 😊 

 

Miracles of Auriga - 2024.01.05-01.09 - SHO

It was my first image created using a mono camera and narrowband filters. After many approaches to the data, I'm finally satisfied with the latest revision.

18h of total integration time: 71x300s SII, 74x300s Ha, 71x300s OIII; Gain 101, Offset 50, -10°C;

Thank you.

Beautiful image, well done. I haven't done any SHO imaging (processing) but from that image I'd say you have a really good command of it.

Thank you.

No thank you for sharing. I keep coming back to it as there’s always more details to see. It’s stunning; simply stunning 😍.

I'm really surprised how much details the tiny 2" Askar together with the powerful APS-C mono camera can give. 🤔

Me too; that is a very impressive image! In fact, I think it's the best image I've seen of that nebula, period. Including the actual Hubble image. And from Bortle 9, no less. Very cool.
