Hi All
Following on from my earlier postings of this subject, first in Ha and then a Ha/OIII colour image, I managed to get out last night and get 3 hours of SII data in 20 minute subframes. This is now finished and hopefully tonight I am going to move on to IC1318.
Details for this image are
Takahashi FSQ106ED at f5
Starlight Xpress H36 with 5nm Ha,OIII and SII filters
Paramount ME auto guided with Starlight Xpress Lodestar/OAG using dithering
9x20 minutes SII, 8x20 minutes Ha and 8x20 minutes OIII mapped to the HST palette so SII:Ha:OIII = R:G:B
The earlier images are on the Nebulae 2 page of the image gallery on my website http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk (http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk/) and a full high resolution image is on http://www.pbase.com/imaging_the_heavens but be warned that it is an 18 MB file so it may take a while to download
Thanks again for looking
Best wishes
Gordon

Exquisite as usual Gordon, you are definitely a master at NB imaging. This has been worth the wait.

Thanks.
