Tips for improving DSLR LMC?

[alocky (Andrew lockwood)]

Hi roger -same experience here with the Nikon d800
As others have said you really need a modded dslr. Funny thing is that there's plenty of other dso's with dominantly h-alpha emission that turned out fine with the D800, but I've never managed to get a red tarantula without using a mono CCD and lrgb filters.
The LAB processed version you've produced is pretty damn good.

Through the tak FSQ and the best I could get was a sort of dried blood tinge.

Undoubtly with filters LRGB and H alpha we get more real image of DSOs. No discussion about it. But some color information can be captured with DSLR. The seeing, black sky, and graphic procedures are factors with more influence in the result.
