Tuc47, M17 and NGC2070

[vic4loc]

Took advantage of some calm clear nights last week & last night

Scope: LX90 8" with CCDT0.67 reducer
Mount: HEQ5
Camera: QSI583wsg
Guiding: Orion SSAG

Tuc47 - 10x2mins each for LRGB (RGB bin2x2)
M17 - 4x10mins each for Ha, SII & OIII
NGC2070 - 5x10mins Ha

M17 is my second attempt at processing in Hubble palette, not sure if the colouring is right, doesnt seem correct to me.

All nice Vic but M17 looks great :thumbsup:...that is the true Hubble Palette really, complete with magenta stars. Most imagers like to make the stars less magenta or add RGB stars (from a series of short RGB exposures) but this is not mandatory IMO.

Nice work

Tarantula texture is great - Tuc 47 is a bit bland - I'd expect more colour from an LX90 OTA, and maybe a bit more detail from a reducer.
That Omega is amazing - wish I had a decent camera - and an EQ mount!!

Very nice photos Victor.

Love the detail in M17.
