Ngc 1514 L-L(o3)-osc...

[Dietmar]

hi friends,
this is a re-processed version of that PN in taurus I posted a couple
weeks ago.
this time, it is a collaboration with Andras Dan, a hungarian friend
of mine, who has collected some narrow-band data with his 10" SC
f6.3; SXV H9 and Astronomik O3 filter.
6x15 minutes. gemini 42 EQ mount - direct drive system.
Andras is the head of Gemini: www.astronomy.hu (http://www.astronomy.hu)
Andras let me kindly process this data to use it in addition to the
image I had already processed.
I used:
9" TMB Apo f/18 with a barlow lens and SXV H36
9" TMB Apo f/9 and M25C f/9 for color.
the O3 signal was too weak to use it a decent green channel,...nbut
strong enough for another additional luminance channel .
so here is the result of the cooperation of Andras and me:
PLEASE make sure to scroll down and navigate to the links that lead
to the newer versions:

thanks for taking another look!
best regards,
Dietmar + Andras

the new one shows just a bit more contrast and detail than the previous, once you get that good; eeking out that last bit of detail takes some work.
I think they are both excellent

Hi Dietmar,

The first one was great. Viewing them both side by side the extra detail from the OIII data makes it even better :)

Just a little more contrasty detail in the darker regions of the neb seems to be the difference to us Dietz. Great collaboration there guys :thumbsup:

Gee thats an enormous magnification, f18! There must be a very fine resolution in arc secs/pixel there. Stars still so sharp. Well done

A lovely image Dietz, the shape and colour of this PN is very interesting.

A fine image.
