That M8 in Mapped NB

Hi Guys

Im gunna milk the Ha I did previously for all its worth .

Here is the starless Ha I did in a previous M8 with SII and OIII I took last year as a NB image. Not as attractive as LRGB methinks, but worth trying never the less.

M17 Swan Nebula in Colour Mapped Narrowband
Ha:SII:Ha:OIII Ha 3nm Ha 10hrs; SII 80min; OIII 50min both bin2, Mapped as LRGB (Hubble pallet)
Taken on a Meade 12" LX200R OTA, G11, ST10XME, at f6.7 (Ha)

SII:OIII taken earlier with an ST8XME (scaled).


The nebula to the left was curved way down, it was just a sea of Green but NB artistic license allows this in NB, its just art . The gurus here will puke, but hell, others might have a squiz and chuckle, thats what its all about, fun

Sorry for resubmitting data, but its different enough, I hope.
