3 x M20 Triffid Nebula

[Doogs38 (Alex)]

Just for fun; three different ways of portraying M20:

Left: LRGB (160 x 180s LRGB - 2hrs each, 8hrs total)
Middle: SHO (120 x 180 SHO - hrs each, 6hrs total
Right: LRGB blended with a foraxx SHO

Edge HD 8" with 0.7 R, ASI294MM, Antlia LRGB, Optolong SHO
Stacked in APP, processed in PI, final tweak in PS

Thanks for looking. Alex

I really like the last one but they are all very decent.

Great set of images well done!!
Think my fave is still the rgb as it keeps all that beautiful dusty goodness up the top. The NB adds a bit more contrast to the nebulously so interesting to see both next to each other.

Nice one Alex, you do kinda get the best of both, cool.

Thanks John, Dave, Alex and Steve. This was more about me continuing to learn PI’s features () than anything else ... still trying to figure out HDRMT. FWIW, I prefer the LRGB version. Alex

Great shots from the Edge 8 Alex

Personally, I prefer the “natural” look of the first one.

As with any enhancement tools, be careful with HDRMT. Sometimes less is more.
