M92 - Work in Progress...

[RichieJarvis]

Hi All,

Whilst I am waiting for M57 to arise from behind those *&^!#! trees, I am having a go at M92 the second glob in Hercules...

Last night, I ran off a series of subs through the 2x barlow on the F/7 scope using Ha/OIII/Hb - the OIII and Hb are not quite parfocal with the Ha though - something I have to sort out. However, the Ha subs were perfectly in focus, so I used them for the centre of tonights LRGB subs (just 200:100:100:100 x 2 so far.)

Here is the preliminary results so far - looks like this is going to be an easy one

Thanks for looking!

Richie

Thats looking very good Richie it's got a nice depth to it. Just a couple of satellite trails on the bottom left corner to sort out

Keep it coming Richie it's looking good already and I'm sure it's going to be a belter. I reckon it's the LRGB that's doing the job though

[RichieJarvis]

Yup - your right - the LRGB is what to do with this - the Ha gives definition in the core though - the central part is ALL Ha luminance - I'll have to grab some more subs I suppose.... probably just L though - I think theres enough colour data to be going on with.

Cheers,

Richie
