Narrow band Eta Carina

[ozstronomer (Geoff)]

Allan that is a lovely image. I really like the contrast between the browns and the yellow. Not to over done, quite subtle.

What was the colour mapping on the final image?

Beginning to like narrow band as anything goes (within reason).

That's superb Allan. The best Eta close-up I've seen in a long while. Here's one that Fred will like.

Touche Marc, nice work, excellent pic now.

Ah, easy for you Fred but me not know how!!

Mark, you'll have to tell me how you reduced the blue fringing as its a better repro

Here you go. From PS3 but Reduce noise is standard in all subsequent versions.

Thanks Mark, had a little play and it works quite well.
All tips gratefully acknowledged and horded

That is a great image. Good to see some narrowband. It adds another view to the object.

Greg.

Like that last one best Allan. The subtle browns looks great.

Greg and Paul
Glad you both got something from the photo but again the rain has set in in Brisbane. Guess it will be awhile before I can do something else.

Nicely done Allan, a great closeup of Eta!
