Reprocessed NGC3372 in Narrowband - QHY8

ejcruz (Eddie) · #1 20-04-2009, 02:56 PM

With all those clouds about I decided to reprocess using the palette S2/Ha/O3 as I feel the original posting was too green.

Reprocessed attempt:

This is the original for comparision.

Still trying to improve, as always your advise welcome.

Cheers

Wow...you got that sort of signal with a one shot colour camera?

Amazing...I never would have thought you'd get enough signal particularly with the SII

Well done.

Wow, very cool.

I'm actually processing my NB version of it now. Will try to get the same colors.

Looks hot!

Marc look forward to seeing your NB image, just waiting for clear skys to take other NB images.

Peter your correct about the SII, for this image I took 23x20min subs.

Just had a

moment. Makes sense now. I have only 29x10min of SII

. That's why I can't see any red when using the Hubble Palette. I see you pushed to 20min. I'll post mine with OIII as red for now until I get some serious SII this week-end if the weather plays nice.

Did you capture with Nebulosity?

Great amout of detail Eddie, I have a QHY8 and didn't think it could come up to this standard with NB filters.
Was it taken at 2X2 or just 1X1 and desaturated?

All capture where taken 1x1 with slow download, gain 01 and offset 110.

You going to need a lot of SII sub, mine was 23x20min. Don't forget Ha as the Hubble Palette is SII=Red Ha=Green OIII=Blue, if you don't have enough SII you can try adding ~15% to 25% Ha to SII (I didn't have to do that with mine).

Yes images where captured with Nebulosity 2.

I agree narrowband opens up so many options (it can be a headach deciding which way to process) and does bring out the details.

nice work Eddie

how many nights did you take to collect the data seeing the rotten weather over the last several months

These clouds are driving me insane, have some Ha data on IC2177 and M20 so I'm busting to get SII and OIII.

Took me 4 nights to do ETA Carina.

4 nights over how many weeks eh?

bluescope · #16 23-04-2009, 01:59 PM

Excellent stuff ... so much detail ! Larger version would be good to look at I think.

Tamtarn · #17 23-04-2009, 02:46 PM

Definitely prefer the repro the added colour gives it much more depth. Great job
