Tarantula in Blended RGB and NB

[avandonk]

Managed to get 26 frames of 16 minute OIII data last night. RGB data was 9x4 minutes for each colour. NII data 33 frames at 16 minutes. The NB data and RGB were blended together with my secret recipe.

This is at native camera pixel size 10MB.

This is upsized by a factor of 1.5. 21 MB

All data was upsized X1.5 before stacking to improve resolution.

This is just a first attempt at blending deep NB with RGB with the system now fully optimised. As is obvious, the stars are good to the corners.

Fine work Bert, both with the data and getting your system optimized.

A ripper image Bert! Thoroughly enjoyed it. You've struck the right balance between the narrow and broad band data. RGB has produced aesthetic stars. Love the 1.5x upsized version. So much to see while swimming around the scene. Well done.
