Dog's Paw Nebula in SHO NGC6334

[Robert_T]

I'm trying to start a movement to change the name. I prefer dogs to cats. This looks like a print from my three toed pekinese ;-)

High Res on astrobin https://astrob.in/qzgch0/0/

This is perhaps my deepest (just) shot to-date over 16 hours of integration taken over 4 nights. Using the riccardi reducer so at f4.5 on the APM130.

Stacked and combined in APP mapping Ha, OIII, and SII in SHO and adding both OIII and SII as 80% green.Then separately processed and combined the Ha OIII and SII layers in startools also in SHO.

I liked the detail from Startools and Stars and colour from APP... so tried something new where I then aligned the results from APP and Startools and adjusted opacity till I got a compromise I liked.

thanks for looking:thumbsup:
