NGC300 Lum

[PKay (Peter)]

Exciting!

As the data is coming in I just can't wait.

This is what I have gathered so far in Luminance (30 X 300s).

All the other filters (RGB, Ha, O3), work in progress

It is truly amazing what we can 'see' now...

[multiweb (Marc)]

Beautiful.

[Craig_]

Looking good so far!

Do you expect to see much in the OIII channel?

[PKay (Peter)]

Hey Marc, thanx dude

Hiya Craig, gotta have fun

Pete: Having a look at the O3...

[neurosis3000 (Reggie)]

Lots of nice detail there, Peter!

Interesting to see the OII showing up. How do you plan to blend it with the RGB?

I had a go at this object a few years ago - it doesn't have a lot of surface brightness. Your ZWO is doing a good job considering the integration you have so far.

Hi Pete.
Lots of integration time works for me.
However, to find out how much O3 was there, I cheated and used a 16" CDK at itelescopes.
Lots there!
So I have put my scope to task just on O3, but is slow going...

Ha is there also, but very feint.

Adding the O3 and Ha to LRGB can be done a few ways (Pixinsight).
There is a script for this purpose that works most of the time.
If not it's down to pixel math (tedious).

I also have a mountain of OSC data taken last year.
To combine that is going to be a challenge.

Have to enjoy the journey
