No H-a, no worky

[LewisM]

OK, I succumbed to peer pressure and did an NGC3576.

I got 2 hrs in before nocturnal fluffery ended the night at 1am.

But geez, without H-a data, there just ain't much there (and colour hard to bring out too) with an OSC CCD (plus my focus was a smidge off) You can see the loops...JUST. Might have to put the 7nm H-a filter on tonight...

This was NO filter except UV/IR cut- no LP filter - all LP cleaned up in PixInsight

Lewis you really need full narrowband to do it justice. Plenty of Ha and Oiii there to be had.

Nope. Sticking to my H-A/RGB plan. Not making technicolour poop when I can make RGB poop (and not a hint of green to be seen)
