IC5148 Spare Tyre Nebula RGB

[troypiggo (Troy)]

First pass, quick process of RGB only. I haven't done much (any?) planetary nebula imaging, so keen to get into some smaller targets with my "new" scope

Surprised how much just the RGB captured actually. Am onto some OIII and Ha now.

This is 8x5mins each of R, G, and B only, no L.

Looks really nice Troy.

Nice work, Troy! I have tens of hours of NB and can't make it look better than that

[Ross G]

Great capture Troy...a very nice looking photo.


I also have an 8" scope that has been sitting in my garage for about 7 years for the same reasons..I think you have inspired me to go drag it out!..

Ross.

Haha. Do it!

A great little PN Troy. Well done

[Paul Haese]

This planetary still gives me shudders at the amount of hours I spent on it to try and get good detail on the outer halo. You have a great start here Troy and I look forward to what you can capture with your rig.

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

Very well done.

Couldn't help noticing a whole bunch of faint and distant galaxies, especially off toward 9 o'clock.

You're making it look too easy Troy. Nice capture.
