NGC3132 Starburst Nebula-close up

Hi Guys

A 48 arc/sec planetary neb taken and proceesed with Pure Blonde influences, hence the random colour balance . The punks at NASA have modified the classic Hubble pallet since the latest upgrade, which makes vain emulation very difficult, I cant work out if its different filters or fancy fiddling in PS , very annoying.

Anyway. Starless (natch ) NGC3132 Starburst Nebula in Colour Mapped narrowband
HA:SII;OIII Mapped as RGB. Ha 2hrs, SII 80min, OIII 1hr. All 10min subs Bin1 Off axis guided with an SBIG AO8 (adaptive optics guider)operating at0.5 hz Taken on a 10"RCOS RC at f9 (2275mm FL), PME mount and ST10XME in urban skies .
