M27.

[tilbrook@rbe.ne (Justin Tilbrook)]

Hi,

This was so supposed to be more data for the Helix, but there was a strong wind coming directly at the scope so I swung around on to M27.

I only had 90 minutes of data 5 minute subs ISO 1600, I processed this but it was noisy.
I went through my library of data and found another 32 minutes of data, 2 minute subs at ISO 800.
I processed both images separately and combined them in DSS, worked a treat!
Think I'll try this method again instead of layering in PS.

The image is quite deep for just over two hours, shall get some more data later.

8" F/4 astrograph HEQ pro 5 mount. Orion mini guider.

Unmodded canon 1100D, baader type III coma corrector.

18 x 5 minute subs, ISO 1600 and 16 x 2 minute ISO 800. Stacked in DSS, processed in PS7.

Plus repro .

Cheers,

Justin.

Nice, Justin! You've got some of the dim halo happening.

[Larryp (Laurie)]

Beautiful colour and great detail, Justin

I was surprised to see the faint stuff.

Tricky little bugger to process.

Hi,

A quick repro.
Managed to squeeze more out of this image.

Cheers,

Justin.

Hope to get some clear skies next week, so I can some more data on M27 and the Helix.

Cheers,

Justin.

That's a nice image Justin. Good details.

1st time ive seen the faint Halo, wonderfull sight and very nice Image Justin - Great stuff

[Paul Haese]

Nicely processed and coloured Justin. This is on my imaging list but is a bit north for my position. So I will just enjoy looking at others images. Well done.

I spent a few hours to process M27.

Had to check out other images to see if the faint stuff was real.

It would be directly in Adelaides LP wouldn't it?

Cheers,

Beautiful Justin, that halo is really starting to show on the repro, awesome job mate!

[DJT (David)]

Fine image, Justin.

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Very nice result on this one Justin and the second one has revealed the Ha in the central area better, so good Sidonio'ing there let's see a few more, maybe a hybrid version

Hmmm, not so much that, but the trees are problematic too I think. I would tend to do this in a NB imaging run rather than broad band imaging.
