IC1795 in HST palette

[Paramount]

Hi
I have finally finished my IC1795 image in the HST palette that I started in early December last year, due to a combination of consistently bad weather and the one clear night coinciding with work I haven't been able to do any imaging for over two months. This was taken with the FSQ106ED at f5 on a Paramount ME auto guided with a Lodestar and OAG, exposures were 25x30 minutes Ha, 15x30 minutes OIII and 8x30 minutes SII with a FLI ML8300 and 5nm narrow band filters. Fog came in just after I finished the 8th SII frame last night and it would benefit from a bit more SII data but I am grateful for some imaging time at least.
The Ha data can be seen on my website at http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk and there is a full size version of this at the following link

Thanks for looking
Best wishes

Hi
Thanks for the comments, all raw frames are calibrated in Maxim DL5, then they are registered in Registar, stacked in Maxim DL5, each master frame is gamma stretched with a gamma value of 0.1/full pixel value/16bit and then saved as a 16 bit tiff file. All tiff files are then opened in Photoshop CS5 where the histograms are equalised before colour combining, its then levels and curves, selective colour and some contrast adjustments
Best wishes
