Ngc 6164 - updated less green and hubble

Hi all,

I battled the Melbourne wind last week and managed to cobble together an image.

Here is a bi colour of ngc 6164, only 10x 10 mins Ha and about 7x10mins Oiii. I was hoping to get a lot more (3x data) but many subs were ruined by the wind, it was an inefficient outing, having a 12" light bucket doesn't help when the wind is up.

I also took about an hour of S2 (new filter!) but there wasn't much signal there, I also learnt a lot about colour mapping nb over the w'end (more than simply throwing the mono image into the channels! I've got even more respect to the NB masters out there now).

I might go back and do a repro, I was concentrating more on mixing the channels and aligning (still need to buy registar) than my normal processing.

Also attached is a Ha monochrome.
It is a steep learning curve

edit: updated less green bicolour and added an extremely pushed hubble mix

Cheers
