Ngc 1514 L-L(o3)-osc...

[Dietmar]

hi friends,
this is a re-processed version of that PN in taurus I posted a couple
weeks ago.
this time, it is a collaboration with Andras Dan, a hungarian friend
of mine, who has collected some narrow-band data with his 10" SC
f6.3; SXV H9 and Astronomik O3 filter.
6x15 minutes. gemini 42 EQ mount - direct drive system.
Andras is the head of Gemini: www.astronomy.hu
Andras let me kindly process this data to use it in addition to the
image I had already processed.
I used:
9" TMB Apo f/18 with a barlow lens and SXV H36
9" TMB Apo f/9 and M25C f/9 for color.
the O3 signal was too weak to use it a decent green channel,...nbut
strong enough for another additional luminance channel .
so here is the result of the cooperation of Andras and me:
PLEASE make sure to scroll down and navigate to the links that lead
to the newer versions:

thanks for taking another look!
best regards,
Dietmar + Andras

the new one shows just a bit more contrast and detail than the previous, once you get that good; eeking out that last bit of detail takes some work.
I think they are both excellent

Hi Dietmar,

The first one was great. Viewing them both side by side the extra detail from the OIII data makes it even better

Just a little more contrasty detail in the darker regions of the neb seems to be the difference to us Dietz. Great collaboration there guys

Gee thats an enormous magnification, f18! There must be a very fine resolution in arc secs/pixel there. Stars still so sharp. Well done

A lovely image Dietz, the shape and colour of this PN is very interesting.

A fine image.
