Really nice image though! Out of curiosity, do you drizzle your data, at your image scale you should easily be able to
You get such a nice FOV with that 70mm! Looking forward to a full NB |
Hi Colin, No I havn't used drizzle - since you mentioned it, I looked it up and found this reference.

Not sure if it will make a difference, but will give it a go next time & see

It will be of great interest to learn whether the region at top right is of sufficient violence to show much OIII. We eagerly await your results.
Edit: Found an image on Astronomy Forum. Trying to post a link to it told me I'd exceeded my free view quota or some such. But there is some nice OIII.

Hi M&T, thanks for your encouraging comments. I too found a reference image that showed some O3 in Sh2-54, so hopefully I can render that too.

Personally though I am not a fan of portrait orientation. That's just me despite my portrait orientation image getting an honourable mention at the Malin's.

Hi Greg, Yes thanks for your comments.
I just wasn't inspired by my previous m16/17 framing, so I though I'd visit new territory instead (for me anyway).
Will review the orientation when this image is finished, but as I'm a portrait photographer by profession, this orientation is natural for me.
