M82 L-Ha/R-G-B*new Ha*

[MikeD]

Great night last night, can't remember the last time I was able to nab a full colour image in one night.

Image taken through my 10" newt with my HX916 CCD, guided with a DMK through an 80Ed.

L= 30 ' 5 mins

RGB = 10 @ 5 mins each

Ha 17 @ 5 mins

Unfortunatly the Ha subs (taken last) were killed by dew build up on the secondary:rolleyes:

As you can see the lumance has gone deeper than the Ha.

Hope to get some new Ha and more L tonight.

Mike.

Gorgeous Mike.

How long can you guide without any effect on the shape of the stars? If you could stretch to 30 mins for ha, the effect on those jets would be incredible. More is definetly more as far as Ha emissions go.

[MikeD]

Hi TJ.

Diff flex stops me at around 10-15 mins, it's time I put some effort into sorting that out.

Mike.

I am truly jelous of those jets, i would love to get an image with even half the detail you have there!

[ollypenrice]

Wham, what to add? It is all said in the image...

Hi All , still playing with this.

A little fat tail deconvolution in maxim DL applied to the Ha for a touch more detail in the jets.

Mike.

[Psychobilly]

Your definitely catching up with JohnH's image Mike ...

[MikeD]

Apologies for the constant tweaking and reposting.

Thanks To Steve (Steppenwolf) for tips on how to sharpen the jets and dust with a highpass filter applied to an overlay layer in photoshop.
