IC5148 Spare Tyre Nebula RGB

[troypiggo]

First pass, quick process of RGB only. I haven't done much (any?) planetary nebula imaging, so keen to get into some smaller targets with my "new" scope (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=169342) :)

Surprised how much just the RGB captured actually. Am onto some OIII and Ha now.

This is 8x5mins each of R, G, and B only, no L.

Looks really nice Troy.

Nice work, Troy! I have tens of hours of NB and can't make it look better than that :lol:

Great capture Troy...a very nice looking photo.


I also have an 8" scope that has been sitting in my garage for about 7 years for the same reasons..I think you have inspired me to go drag it out!..

Haha. Do it! :)

A great little PN Troy. Well done :thumbsup:

This planetary still gives me shudders at the amount of hours I spent on it to try and get good detail on the outer halo. You have a great start here Troy and I look forward to what you can capture with your rig.

Very well done.

Couldn't help noticing a whole bunch of faint and distant galaxies, especially off toward 9 o'clock.

You're making it look too easy Troy. Nice capture.
