M33 in Ha

[johnrt]

Massive enormous big fat full moon and really unthoughtfully placed trees left me scratching my head for a target to image on a lovely clear night and no need to get up early for work the next morning. Typical.

So I thought I'd give M33 a bash in Ha - as it's packed with emission goodies & stellar activity. An interesting but maybe inhospitable place to live?

WO Megrez 72

Atik 314l+ & 12nm Ha filter

around 2 hours in 10 minute subs

Very very interesting result. Stunning really. Have you thought of throwing some OIII and SII at it? That would be a totally off the wall look at M33.

Very cool.

Save that data, get some RGB, combine and it will by rubyesque. Great Ha.

When one refers to "getting some RGB", would that mean applying a palette to the Ha/O-III/Hb - or capturing luminosity with a red, green or blue coloured filter?

Thanks folks -

I don't have any RGB filters yet, but I do have an OIII on order and was wondering what result I'd get with that + Ha.

In any case I'll hang on to it for when I do get some colour filters!

Hey Mike, I'm at work at the moment posting on my mobile, I'll drop you a line back re. your pm a little later.

re: PM - Good stuff

re: Image - Really looking forward to seeing what you do with OIII.
