Eta Carina in Ha RGB

[tornado33]

Hi all
Had a go at combining my Ha and colour (RGB) images into a HA RGB image, using about 30% red/70% Ha in the red channel, in Photoshop
Images taken with Berts 300mm f2.8 flourite lens
I used this proceedure to follow

Nice work Scott !

I like your HA image much better.

But still nicely done and well processed even though a bit orange.

I like it, very interesting.

Is that the full fov thru the 300mm Scott or have you cropped?

[sheeny]

Very nice! Making full use of the available dynamic range there. Very wide shot and lots of detail.

Thanks all
Yes that fulll frame, well a tiny bit of cropping as I "dithered" moving the lens slightly between images, and the Ha one was taken on a different night and was a tiny bit off from the colour ones.

Good work Scott.

I'm interested to know what is the brandand size of H-alpha filter you used to get such a nice wide angle view.

Hi Scott, a very nice image indeed and equally as spectacular in it's own right.

Cheers

Thanks
I use a 2 inch Baader 7 Nm Ha filter, it, and an IDAS uv/ir filter are placed in the rear of Bert's lens.
