Congratulations, Bert. Truly wonderful example of what is obviously a lot of patient work. What are the specs?

Thanks for all the nice comments. I have been busy going slowly more mad/insane than ever, trying to master PixInsight. The only way to learn is by trial and error. Be prepared for more errors than you can imagine. The results in the end when you finally win, are worth all the pain.

The image in the original post was stitched together with RegiStar. All previous processing done with PI. Even 3nm NB filters suffer from nasty gradients at the 3.5x3.5 degree field of the RH200. This means it is almost impossible to make seamless mosaics.

I have worked out a protocol with DBE to almost totally eliminate gradients.

This image was made with Gradient Merge Mosaic in PixInsight 14MB

http://d1355990.i49.quadrahosting.co..._4P_NOO_PI.jpg

The lack of seams is obvious.


If you think the above image is stunning I am now working on a Hubble Palette version of the same data plus SII of course that is even better.


Here is panel one at full stacked resolution ie x1.5 sensor size. 15MB

http://d1355990.i49.quadrahosting.co...VSNR_P1_HP.jpg



Hubble Palette is of course SII to red. NII or HA to green and OIII to blue. It is then adjusted using this method

http://bf-astro.com/hubblep.htm

The very dim detail in red and blue is vastly enhanced because human vision is far more sensitive (x20) in the green part of the visible spectrum compared to red or blue.

The simplest way to think of it is that the 'red' data modulates green to give a yellow signal and the blue data modulates green to give a cyan signal.


Bert


Exposure details. Each filter had about 20x16min or 5 hours exposure for each panel. So 4 panels X three filters x five hours = 60 hours of data at F3. To collect equivalent data at the same resultant signal to noise at F5 would take more than 160 hours.

l usually go to Hubble sites for images like this Bert, They are beautiful-
l really look forward to the next installment with the Hubble palette.
l second the question - Why isn't it APOD?

Nice detail Bert. Colour in the first one is very good. Maybe some more work on the panel joints at the bottom, but a very large project by the looks. I would maybe think increase your overlap for the mosaic and then crop out a segment to allow a seamless mosaic.

Not much noise either. Certainly your best to date.

You love that area of sky huh Bert? how many times have you imaged it now? This latest Hubble version panel certainly looks rather good

who wishes he had an OS RH200

Superb vista. Little noisy but great details. Would look awesome with more data to smooth it all out.
