NGC 7635 - The Bubble

[daz]

The imaging set up continues to perform very well. This was a visit to this one as I wanted to get some OIII data and see if there was any SII.

Ha was 28 x 600 seconds, OIII was 10 x 1200 seconds.

I then shot 8 x 1800 seconds for the SII and there was barely a whisper!!!

So this is a Bicolour, and combined into a synthetic green using the method from Steve Cannistra.

My grey scale processing is getting better, but the colour needs some work!!

Object: NGC 7635

Imaging: ED80 + SXVF-H9 + SX Filter Wheel

Guiding: SX Lodestar + SX OAG

Mount: EQ6 + EQMOD

Aquisition: MaximDL + CCD Commander + TheSky6

Processing: MaximDL, PS CS4

That has such a surreal feeling to it.

It's simply beautiful.

Looks like a face staring to the bottom right of the pic.

That sir, I reckon is possibly your best yet. Smooth as a baby's behind and not overly bright as some so it's quite dramatic. I reckon you could get away with a smidge of sharpening to some of that detail SW of the Bubble and not bring any real noise to it.

Congrats!!

Nice image, Colour looks quite natural when combined in this way.

Many thanks for your kind comments

Actually, having looked at it for some time (as you do) I do like the colouring

Lovely.

Nicely captured, framed well and nice colour combination.

Cheers

Lots of data means a smooooth and polished image like this! No substitute for time...

(Well, okay, f0.5 would be a substitute but ho-hum...)

4 hours and no signal in SII Shame, this looks stunning in HST colours, and with this as nice and smooth as it is it'd be luuuuuuvverly!

Nice one Darren!

Oooh! Nice one Daz, I like the fact it hasn't been stretched to hell and beyond (like my efforts at the Bubble a year or so back).
