M27 from Astrofest

[Garbz (Chris)]

I must be bored because I'm averaging a process every 2 days.

3 and a half hours of data on the Dumbbell nebula taken during astrofest.
In case anyone is interested I posted a video of my processing and a list of steps here: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=111689

Taken on a C8 at f/6.3 with a QHY10 and 5min subs.

Edit:
Posted a second attempt at processing this one after Rick's revelation in the other thread about how I've been doing things wrong. I think it is much better now.

Great shot Chris, processing looks good.

Looks like you are getting the hang of Pixinsight

Very nice, Chris

[h0ughy (David)]

nice work there Chris

[RickS (Rick)]

Nice Dumbell, Chris!

[Garbz (Chris)]

Thanks all. Rick I took your advice from the other thread and got some deconvolution going to tighten the image a bit. At the end I also added a bit of erosion to make the nebula stand out from the busy background.

Well done Chris

The repo is a very good improvement It has nice depth in the star field
