NGC6723 with TY Coronae Australis. You can just make out the some of the darker part of the Nebula to the lower left of the TY CorAus
Corona Australis is getting a bit of a hammering from me, seeing as it is in just the right spot at the moment.
A few day ago I imaged the same area using my 135mm lens on the 300D, this time I thought I'd try an LRGB image using the ATiK 16IC, 6.3 Meade FR and the Orion ED80. My first successful effort in RGB for a DSO (though not as planned
). I'm just starting to learn how easy it aint. If anyone can offer any suggestions for keeping the stars the same size for each colour channel I'd love to hear it. The biggest problem is bloating in the Red Channel.
10X3min each of L=R, G, B (ie I used the Luminance channel for the red channel as the stars were too bloated). Dark subtracted, aligned and colour combined in ImagesPlus. The filters used are Baader RGB filters (not very happy with the colour outputs.) Final processing in PS. The image in the corner is a crop from the 300D image from the other day and isn't at 100%.
The monochrome image is the stacked luminance, with light stretching before final combining.
