The Lagoon in Ha

[DJScotty]

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

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 :thumbsup:

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!:lol:

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

[DJScotty]

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 :thumbsup:

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

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]

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!

[DJScotty]
