Gabriela Mistral

[DiscoDuck]

Tried an Ha RGB image of Gabriela Mistral. About 3 hours of Ha and 1 hour each of RGB with an ASI1600MM-C on an RC8 and EQ6.

Used a bit of luminance from the RGB data to bring the stars out a little bit more than the Ha alone would allow.

Ok...so it's really part of the ETA CARINA nebula.

So that's a good thing. :thumbsup:

Even better are the lovely tight stars in this image. Well done ! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nice, probably my favourite bit of this nebula complex, even better than the Keyhole :)

As a pure narrowband fiend who struggles mightily with straight RGB nebulae, it's taken me a while to come round to this image, but I keep seeing the thumbnail, and thinking, "that's pretty; that's very pretty".

It's a lovely image.

Best,

Thanks Mike.



Thank you Mike. Perhaps it's the narrowband luminance that lured you in - not too far off pure narrowband! :shrug:
