Another Tarantula

[Geoff45 (Geoff)]

Two versions here
Narrowband Ha -->Red, OIII -->Green, OIII + 20%Ha -->Blue
http://www.astrobin.com/143682/
and LRGB plus narrowband
http://www.astrobin.com/143681/.

This was first light with the FLI Proline. I should work on these a bit more--maybe after the festive season.

Both look great Geoff, nice subtle soft look too without looking over smoothed, I like ...I trust all went well with commissioning the new big black bird from New York?

Thanks Mike. I did do some noise reduction on the narrowband but it was unnecessary on the full monte image.
Camera performed well--easy to get to -30deg and quick downloads.

Yeah they are good cameras, I could use -30C with the 16803 and -35C with the 11002, all year = same set of darks yes, I used darks then , don't need to with the SX camera, although I didn't dither when using the FLI's either may do so when I move back to the big chip (maybe next year sometime?)

Have fun, look forward to your impending images

Hi, Geoff,

The new camera is working superbly. You've picked up smooth clean nebulosity in some pretty faint areas. Much to my amazement, I actually prefer the LRGB+NB one because it shows the open clusters nicely.

Best,
Mike

Both great images, Geoff! I rather like the more colourful version with RGB as well.

Cheers,
Rick.

Hi Geoff,
They are looking good and I feel a re-process may bring out more detail.

cheers

Thanks Mike. BackgroundEnhancement script in PixInsight is really good at bringing out faint nebulosity
