Hi All
After doing the Ha data on this object a couple of nights ago I managed to get out again last night and shot 27x10 minutes for the OIII. The capture details are the same as before so I won't elaborate on that, the Ha and OIII are assigned as follows Ha=Red OIII=Green OIII=Blue, the seeing conditions remain very poor, what with the moon, artificial light pollution and sky glow (in fact it was almost light enough outside last night to read without my red light), the seeing conditions seem to have more affect on the OIII than the Ha. I am now hoping to get the SII data during the next few days/weeks. You can compare this image with the Ha version on the home page of my website under recent images on http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk (http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk/)
Thanks for looking
Best wishes
Gordon
