NGC 2467 Narrowband & Hubble

[Chris85 (Chris)]

Hi all,

Finally managed to get my head around using my oag which has changed my imaging completely! Can make use of my narrowband filters now

Here's 2 version, one narrowband composite in LRGB and one Hubble palette. I'm finding processing to be a real challenge, but it's good to finally get some clean data to play with.

Both 15 x 900s Ha and 5 x 900s for O3 and S2.
Captured in SGP, calibration and processing in Maxim and Nebulosity 3.
GSO RC 6", Atik 383l mono, AZ EQ6.
Larger versions can be found here http://www.astrobin.com/147692/ & http://www.astrobin.com/147690/
Thanks for looking, and as always tips welcomed
Cheers,
Chris

Very nice indeed.

Wow fantastic Skull and cross bones Chris
So much more detail with the narrowband than my attempt of LRGB.

Cheers Glen, Kevin and Michael!
Getting my oag and guiding sorted has reinvigorated my love for this hobby. In fact it's been over a week now and I haven't even thought of selling all my gear!

Nice work, Chris!

A 1:1:1 Hubble combine is usually very green because most objects are brighter in Ha than OIII or SII. You might want to try stretching the red and blue channels a little more. In PixInsight you can do an unlinked stretch which often produces a nice result. Not sure how you do the equivalent in Maxim/Nebulosity.

Cheers,
Rick.
