Eta Carinae Nebula in Mapped Colour
Hi All,
Here is a mapped colour version of the Eta Carinae Nebula.
Red - OIII - 6 Hours
Green - Ha - 16 Hours
Blue - SII - 6 Hours
Total Exposure 28 Hours
RCOS 12.5" Ritchey-Chretien, Paramount ME & SBIG 2000XM
http://www.southern-astro.com.au/gallery.php?PhotoID=13
I am also processing a SII:Ha:OIII version as well. Which is coming out really nice as well.
Hope you enjoy it.
Cheers,
Brad Moore

Stunning image. The subtle colour changes (indicating different emission lines) is striking. Looks like much of the area outside the keyhole is mainly SII emission whereas inside its a combination.
Cant wait to see other emission nebulae done in this way (though the long exposure times the narrowband filters require will make it a necessarily slow process)

Fascinating, one of the most interesting images i've seen, knowing the emission filters.

What a most wonderful, gob smacking, awesome, and inspirational image to greet me on a wet Sunday morning after a failed night's imaging.
Thanks!

No hubble, just from my back yard with super long exposures and a bit of tricky image processing. The hardware also helps.

Keep at it Dennis! My failed nights still far exceed my successful nights and that’s over a 3 year period. I'm now gaining rapidly on it.  <o:p></o:p>
Just make sure your expectations don't exceed your hardware capabilities.<o:p></o:p>
Cheers,
Brad

Yep, Sulfur II.
Ha = 656.3nm (Red)
SII = 672.4nm (Red)
OIII = 495.9 nm (Blue/Green)
