Hi all
Heres a shot of Eta Carina Nebula with my 10 inch scope, using a 1.25 inch Lumicon Oxygen 3 filter, http://www.users.on.net/~josiah/temp/etacarina%2003%20%2010%20inchcroppe d.jpg

Now that's really different :eyepop: The OIII has really bought out some fine detail there Scott. Great shot. The colour really took me by surprise.

Come on Scott, you're not allowed to do that! too good an image. Excellent!! :2thumbs:

Very nice Scott..... What else can I say! Never thought about imaging through OIII before. I've always thought of it as a visual filter.
Good to see you pushing the boundaries again!
Cheers

Many thanks
heres a new version, Ive used Curves in Photoshop to try and balance the colour a bit better, its also a bigger size, I also used Noiseware to smooth out the noise a bit
