Just checked out your AstroBin album, some really nice looking images there, particularly like your Whirling Banana, I recall when you first posted that too, cool composition.
Cheers Marcus! Glad you like the colour blend! Its actually more SHO, but with extensive use of the other channels as scalers
I'm usually with you on the star versions, but I like the wispy bits of Oiii that show up a lot clearer in the starless making it look a little 'steamy'
Wow what a beautiful image! Stunning colour and detail that draws you in deep!! I’m also not really a fan of starless versions, but I agree there’s something very beautiful about this one. I could absolutely imagine that hanging on my wall
Heresy! Blasphemer! it's the blessed Hubble SHO palette but you mixed the colour channels and balance? <gasp>
So, it's not an SHO image any more, but it's still a handsome image. Confusing, but compelling.
Lol This is science/ art, not religion so no such thing as blasphemy here .
Sort of - its predominately done through pixelmath rather than chancombine and curves. on this one I did apply a slight curve to the Oiii before combining, mainly to tighten up the low end contrast.
Hey Adam, I understand the camera you use is a mono camera and has tiny 2.32 micron pixels, do you image un-binned or bin 2X2?
Mike
Hey mike, I always put detailed acquisition details in my astrobin image, which is partly why I get lazy with it here
I only ever image in 2x2 with this rig, higher dynamic range and 24mb subs vs ~90mb; plus i'm limited to ~1.1"/px by the aperture and bin2 with this camera and this scope gives me an imaging resolution of exactly that anyway
Lovely shot there Adam. The colours and detail are phenomenal. From a distance, it looks nice and smooth; up close, it's satisfyingly sharp. A difficult balance you've achieved so well. Looks like Astrobin likes the image too!

... I really do like it a lot!
