Rodd Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) I finally got a clear night and decided to add OIII to the Ha I previously collected for the Crescent Nebula. The decision was easy, becuase after this clear night it is forecasted to rain for a week. So, I decided to maximize the utility of a single night. This waay I could render a bicolor image instaed of collecting just another nights worth of mono that I wouldn't be able complete as an image for a long time. Seeing was poor, but seeing for the Ha was decent. I need much more of both to achieve what I envision, but this is a decent start. I always have trouble with background in bicolor images, and this one is no exception. Its not terrible, ust not as full as it should be. I am kind of stuck becuase I really don't like this target in the SHO palette. I like this one in Ha-OIII, which mimics RGB. Some nebula just have to be reddish/blueish IMO. I botched up the framing a bit. I wanted the soap bubble to be further in the frame. However, the FOV is restricted and if I pushed it further to the right, the main target wouldf be too close to the right hand edge. I need a 2600 camera. TOA 130 and ASI 1600. Ha: 37 300sec; OIII: 52 300 sec. About 7.5 hours. Need to triple it. Edited May 29 by Rodd 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistlin Bob Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 That's really lovely- I especially like the clarity on the Oxygen bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinch Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I like the colour on this one (top)......looking back on my own from some years back, I now think I oversaturated it. I much prefer yours - rich but subtle in its own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the crescent, but the background is lacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
