NGC2070 Tarantula RGB Ha Oiii

[CoolhandJo]

Following on from my previous NGC2070 post this version is new data in RGBHaOiii. It is 176 x 240 sec of Oiii + Ha using L-Extreme Filter, combined with 120 x 240 RGB taken at a Bortle 2 site (wiruna). Total imaging time approx 20 hours.
I used ASi 533 OSC on a HEQ5 through a SkyWatcher ED80 (gold edition). Pixinsight and photoshop processing.

Well done !!

Excellent work!

Thanks Martin. Dithering creates challenges to framing but the asi air allowed you to use any image to go to so I can pick of most of the frame

Thanks Jeff. I'm finally moving on from this target after many nights. Might move on to Orion :thumbsup:

Nice work there, Paul. My favourite part of the sky, hands down. Not an easy one to process sometimes either, great job!

[RyanJones]

Very nice Paul. I love the colours you've got in this field and the detail in the center. Often to get the dynamic range you can see the center is “ tamed “ but yours looks really natural. Very nice indeed

Thanks Adam. It's a great part of our sky and visible for a long period of time!



Thanks Ryan. I was surprised at the lack of colour in the area. Even at bortle 2 and 8 hours exposure with IR UV filter I was hoping for more colour but it is what it is I supposed.
