Trifid in Hubble Palette

[DavidNg (David)]

Hi,

This is my first coloured narrowband image processed in PixInsight with the help of an Italian man on YouTube, I couldn't understand a word what he was saying, but his video was slow and detail enough for me to follow.

Data is Ha 5nm:OII:SIII 380:380:100 min taken over 5 nights of August. I know nothing about what is the right ingredient or formula, just pooled and processed whatever I collected.

All my images so far were always tainted with blue tinges, I think there is some light interference within the system; however I am still very pleased with my effort and results. Suggestion/comment are welcome

Thanks for looking

A nice widefield with a lot of promise. I suggest the Don Goldman tutorial on narrowband processing on the Astrodon website. That is the best processing of narrowband info I have found. You retain complete control and can blend the colours well. The usual problem is Ha is so much stronger than the other O111 and S11 that it dominates. His processing routine overcomes that.

Thanks everyone,

Greg, I will go through the data and reprocess with Don Goldman guide. Thanks
