Ngc3293 - rgb

[DJT]

I recently posted this open cluster in Carina as a HaRGB image and somehow contrived to lose the blue stars.

In hindsight, and as commented by Mike, the cluster should be the focus so I have redone this in straight RGB, recovering the blue in the process and am pleased with the outcome

Thanks for looking

A nice improvement, David.

Very pretty. Clusters definitely deserve more love.

Now, that's what I'm talk'in bout!

A lovely image of this cluster Dave, with glowing stars, nice work :thumbsup:

I didn't get around to imaging this myself, but I think I won't bother now, yours will do me :)

Nice Dave. Smooth background and good colours. I still think you can integrate the Ha data with some lum for that extra punch, but I like this all the same.

Cheers Paul. Losing the Ha is a bit of a kop-out but am OK where this is at. Just pleased I found out where I left the blue after the last attempt to blend into the red. Theres no L with this data set but I suppose its a case of extracting out of L.a.b, combining the Ha and putting the channels back? Might be a wet afternoon effort.



Shucks, thanks but I reckon you might have nailed this one.





cheers gents. Thanks for the comments
