Managed to clock 7h over two nights on the lagoon including last night. Still a little noisy in the shadows. Will post a blend later on but the Sii by itself looks pretty tight already.

Full fields are below:

I have a HD version here (http://www.astropic.net/astro/M8_FSQ_Sii_HD.jpg). [1.91MB - 1920x1437]
and a 1:1 version here (http://www.astropic.net/astro/M8_FSQ_Sii_fff.jpg)[4.85MB - 3329x2491]

5min subs shot with a FSQ106N and QHY9 - Baader Sii 8nm on G11.

looks great Marc, plenty of detail especially in the brighter parts.

Thanks Russel. Almost looks like a LUM. I believe Sii highlights shock fronts ahead or behind the Ha. So it kinds of outlines them.

Looking great Marc. Not something I would have thought to do. NB version in progress not doubt?

Thanks mate.

Yeah love it now I can keep focus. It's really sharp.


Got some Ha but not with the FSQ. Might get some after astrofest and Oiii too to do a HST palette.

Thanks guys. :thumbsup: I'm still struggling to keep the noise down although the lack of moon made things easier that night. Might get into the habit of dithering again.

Hi, Marc,

For SII, that's amazingly good. Lots of detail where it should be, and looking very true - no hint of spurious SII where there shouldn't be any. Great work.

Best,
Mike

That looks pretty tight for S11 data.

Too many stars for narrowband Marc. You're doing it all wrong. :lol::P Cool image. Keen to see the end result.

Thanks Greg. Got the focus situation under control now.

Thanks Rex. More channels to go still. Only got Sii on this one to date.

:lol: yeah I don't mind stars. Off to Astrofest tomorrow. Doing some color for a change. Woohoo!

Looks great, Marc! How about a Sii/Ha bi-colour?
