Thanks once again for the comments.

Bert....I appreciate the combined versions...they look very good. In fact, I did actually produce an RGB version of this from the NB data....but I thought that the latter looked more striking, so I didnt keep the RGB.

The combination of both mine and Rob's is quite intriguing!

cheers
Martin

I only had eight bit low resolution images to play with Martin but it at least it confirmed my ideas about my future imaging protocols. I hope it gave you an idea or two.

Bert

Excellent image Martin. 27 hours........shows how capturing much more data certainly pays off.

Look forward seeing more of your superb images on IIS.

Excellent work there. The detail inside the tower is striking.

OIII, SII, HA Mapping

Hello all...and thanks for those who have commented.

as I said yesterday, when I put this image together I also mapped the NB data in a different pallette....this time OIII, SII and HA.

For a while, I didnt know which version I liked the most...but I think I favour this one because it reminds me of the Witch Head, a nebula I find particularly striking.

I will update my website a little later, but for those who were enquiring about the equipment used here, it was:
12.5" RCOS at f9.1
SBIG STL11K, with AO-L
Paramount ME
Astrodon NB filters

Let me know what you think.

cheers
Martin

seems with narrow band you can do anything you want and it doesn't matter and can still look good - bit like playing or singing Jazz really

Although strangely beautiful it is a very scary image that (Appropriate for Friday 13th ) and looks more like wild space art than astrophotography.

I am getting a set of new narrow band Astronomiks filters soon so I look forward to finally trying my hand at this forgiving and strange art form

Mike

Absolutely breathtaking Martin !

And I agree with Phil(acropolite), the colour palette is refreshingly different.
