Bubble Nebula - NGC7635

[RichieJarvis]

Hi All,

As most of you know, this is my favourite target I decided to spend a little more time on it this year, and see how deep it went. I started with Ha, and captured 4 hours and 20 minutes first. Then I wanted to see how the colour would look when I added in OIII and Hb into the mix, so last night I did 6 x 10 minute OIII and 8 x 10 minute Hb images.

When I stacked it all up, I was pretty pleased with the result, so I won't be adding a similar amount of OIII and Hb data to the image (this year!)

Anyway, enough babbling, here it is:

Full image details and a high-rez version here: South Common Observatory

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,

Richie

That's very nice Richie, the fine detail is amazing and the colour spot on for me, cracking image.

Lovely stuff, I have been working on some data from Ian pass using the same filter options (and SII), what did you assign the channels to in this one Richie?

[Sam]

What a brilliant image Richie! The detail in the bubble is quite amazing, very nice colouring too!

Thats gorgeous, one of the most 3D looking bubbles I've seen. The brightness of the stars inside make it look like a reflection as if the bubble were made of glass.

Superb, you deserve this image, I've had a look around your website and you certainly have put some effort into this target.

Congrats..

why hbeta?

[RobH]

Great result Richie.

I assume you used h beta for blue, which gives a really lovely colour to this region.

Why H beta Paul....all the advantages of narrowband imaging with natural coloured end results. I used the same combination on my bubble from last year for that reason.

Cheers

Great image Ritchie, the nebulosity around the bubble is amazing.

Richie,

that is stunning. Can I ask a favour....would you be able to post just the OIII image. I'm interested in trying this with my OIII filter and it would be useful to see what I should expect.

Thanks

[RichieJarvis]

Thanks all....

Nick - Ha = Red, OIII = Green, Hb = Blue

Paul - see Rob's reply - it works I also purchased an Hb filter as opposed to an SII filter. I do plan to get an SII filter, but at the price of them, I have brought each NB filter separately.

Rikyuu - sure - its attached - that is just combined and DDP'd - no stretching, etc applied. I stretched it a little to get the yellow coming through in the Bubble

Cheers,

Richie
