NGC6188 in HaRGB

[that_guy (Tony)]

Got some broadband images at wyaralong dam yesterday night. It was super saturated with moisture around midnight. The dew heaters working over time but cant use the dew straps on the fog that rolled in .
I'm happy that I got SOME star colour, albeit not very colourful. Processed mostly in photoshop as I'm trying to ween myself off of pixinsight (trial running out soon). It turned out better than expected.

ED127, EQ6, QHY9M
10x 300sec RGB each
20x 180sec Lum
14x 600sec Ha (from previous night at home)
Darks subtracted from all subs except for Ha (who didn't have time for the 10 minute darks).

You've captured a lot of nice detail in the area although I would suggest that it is heavily Ha biased. One of those things I'm still trying to learn to do in PI myself, adding Ha to RGB without overpowering the RGB.

As for the colour, did you save it as sRGB or AdobeRGB?

Thanks Colin, how do you check what type of file it is?

I'm going to assume that as you're using Photoshop for processing that it'll be in AdobeRGB. As for how to check, on my Mac I would open it in Preview and it says what colour profile is active.

Wow. I was at Lake Moogerah doing exactly the same thing but the mist rolled in a little later. Dew heaters full bore and everything not heated soaking wet... Too tired today to process my data but hoping it comes halfway close to your detailed image

Tony I really like it.
The detail is excellent.
