IC410 and NGC1893

Hello everyone.

On lastSaturday I used the 2 ½ hours of darkness and even part-time on the moon for the nebula IC410 with inside the open cluster NGC 1893.

I opted for a composite luminance signal from RGB mixed with the H-Alpha. Scope used GSO RC 10" reduced to F5.2
and Atik4000 CCD camera. Location Pragelato on Turin Alps, Italy.

I pulled everything I could and I think I managed to keep the 1000 shades of color that make this area one of the richest treasures of this period on the nothern sky.

Thanks for looking.

Bellisimo Leonardo DaVista

Excellent processing there, I like the addition of just the Ha too, B&W images look so cool sometimes.

Do you think the SX AO is worth using?
