Not at all keen on the colours of the first one so I'll talk about the second one only if that's ok as I have more experience in NB HST palette imaging.

Great use of the colour palette, bold punchy contrast and IMO it's the best rendition of the recent flight of Dragons published here.

You're a master of that GSO RC, you consistently produce amazing sharp images with it with perfect round stars from cnr to cnr and that in itself is no mean feat!

That said the only thing letting this otherwise very fine image down imo is the el cheapo ZWO NB filters. They have a bad rep for producing big bright haloes around the stars and this is really showing in your O3 regions.
Astrodon & Chroma NB filters are expensive for a good reason! (Chroma are now slightly better value)
Mike gets great results from his Astronomics, but I've yet to see decent results from ZWO.

Hope that's useful - overall very well done!

Missed this one before but did comment on the ASSA FB page. Nice work Paul as I have come to expect in recent years. You continue to produce excellent images all with good processing.

Thanks Andy. Much appreciated.
I do like the RC8 scope. It was my initial imaging scope and I had planned to upgrade at some stage, but it continues to perform well so I have been sticking with it!
But yes, I'm saving my pennies for a set of Astrodons. The halos bug me too :-(

Hi Paul,
What palette did you use on your SHO image? Nice shot.
Cheers Kanga (Peter)

Thanks Peter. It is a straight SHO->RGB and then tweaking the palette a bit as per this sort of approach https://www.lightvortexastronomy.com...e-palette.html
