Thanks Trevor Like the detail just short on stars.

Thanks Mike, it does make the detail look different.

- And better to do one now before Eta blows up, then it's going to be difficult to make a 'starless' for a while

Thanks Rolf, Big bang that will be.

Love 'em Doug. Go nuts!

I have only an SII to buy yet... and I'm in this game as well.

Doug,

phw0ar!

I really like each and every palette you have presented here. But, for me, from a purely artistic point of view, the green and gold in the third rendering is by far the most visually striking.

The starless version is also a brilliant work of art.

More!

Thanks Chris, NB imaging is quite interesting. The detail you can extract is something else but the colour schemes leave me wanting a bit more. I have come to like a blend of just Ha and OIII eg. HaHaOIIIOIII mapped as LRGB as the colour is not totally different from normal LRGB just more detail and a bit more striking in colour.
SII filters are a challenge at best and require an awful lot of exposure to produce results although the stars do pop on the SII better than the other filters.
Have fun Mate, I know I am.

Thanks H, I still have a way to go with processing NB images. The processing is again something different using NB filters but like anything we all improve with time.

The last image is for Freds comment. Never tried this before and probably got it all wrong.

Glad you liked it Fred, It was an interesting exercise producing the entire image and all the variations. It gave me a great insight into the possibilities of NB images and blends.
