Still going on this my first NB bicolour image.

Added another 2 hrs of Ha dark sky data from VicSouth to the 2 hrs of Ha and 1 hr of O3 data that I captured from Suburban Melbourne.
All 10 min subs through Astrodon 5nm filters.

Nice dark sky out there at Nhill, wanted to get the O3 hours up but there were a few clouds around and I was distracted by having a first crack at M45 in LRGB as well :P

I noticed that my limited O3 data has eggy stars so another 3-4 hrs will need to be redone and added as I was using my old Starshoot guider ST80 combo, prior to using the Lodestar OAG at Nhill.
OAG rocks by comparison, I've never had a flatter PHD graph :thumbsup:

Probably worthwhile getting some RGB data for the star colours as well, I've desaturated them as my bicolour processing technique made them look a bit odd.
But hey there's plenty of time, it's not going anywhere!

Thanks for looking - all constructive criticism most welcome :)

Tried to get more O3 last night but the clouds rolled in - hope to try again tonight.

Pretty deep and a good effort stretching for the outer neb. A bit of work on colour balance and noise would help though.
