The Lagoon in Ha

[DJScotty (Scott)]

I have finally tamed the wild beast!
The final step was the Bhatinov Mask - Thanks Slawomir and Rick!
The only processing was soft light layer, contrast and a 0.9pix High Pass filter

Thanks for looking,

Fairly severe coma there with that chip size, do you have a flattener? Otherwise, good details around the central areas and an excellent look to the nebula with a lovely gaseous feel, nice

Thanks Mike. Yeah I have Baader MPCCIII, but I don't think I have it at the appropriate distance from the sensor. It is app 55mm, but I guess I need better than APPROXIMATE!

It never ends hey!

You're getting there, Scotty, one step at a time!

[DJScotty (Scott)]

Thanks Rick! Small moves Ellie!

Ummm, Rick, (and anybody else) can I ask you very kindly to look at my query in the EQUIPMENT section...

Hi Scott,

Now, that's a great improvement

I agree with Mike, next step would be to correct the spacing.

[DJScotty (Scott)]

Thanks Slawomir,

What are your thoughts on my filter conundrum?!

It has potential. Just one minor thing. It's a mirror image (flip left / right).

[DJScotty (Scott)]

Thanks Kev. That's an easy fix when processing in FITS Liberator after I have more data... if I can ever get this darned Ha filter to work again!

Good one Scotty. Lots of detail in the neb mate. nice job!

[DJScotty (Scott)]

Thanks Rex. There is a lot to see in this one!
