Description

Here is my first narrowband process with my new QHY163M Camera.

We were lucky here in Toronto with some incredibly clear weather this September. Perfect timing for a new camera! I had the camera set to very low gain, apparently they changed the scale of the driver so for this run I was running at a very low gain.

I was happy with the Soap bubble appearing as well, I noticed it's visible in both Ha and Oiii.

I had difficulty with figuring out how to combine the data, it seems working with Linear fit prior to combining is an essential part in this workflow. I'll have to test the process on some other images as well.

I never did image the crescent with my DSLR knowing it was a difficult target, it was nice to see narrowband from the backyard had no problem capturing the crescent!

Thanks for viewing, hopefully this is the first of many images!
