NGC6334 Cats Paw Nebula

[Doogs38]

Hi folks. I haven't had the opportunity for astro these past few months but did enjoy shooting the Cats Paw Nebula last week during some lovely, clear winter skies (in SEQLD) albeit with a bright moon.

The attached image is 10h 20 mins of SHO data. Details are:

Edge HD 8", ASI294MM (Bin 2), OAG with ASI174, AZ-EQ6 mount, NINA
Sii - 4h 4m
Ha - 3h 40m
Oiii - 2h 36m
RGB stars

Sharing for fun. Thanks for looking. Alex

Nice image Alex, I like it. I've spent most of today trying to process the same target and cannot get any blue to show up. I've used a 2600MM and narrowband subs only.

Interested to know your method for generating a colour result.

Really nice image Alex - and a lot of time spent taking it. Much better than the beginners section.

Stunning image, great detail in there. Certainly worth the effort and the processing is good.
