Description

My first Hubble Palette 🎨 😀. This is where you assign SII, Ha & OIII data to the RGB channels. The Prawn Nebula (IC 4628) was captured from my backyard during the month of May.

1 May 27 X 300 sec Ha;

26 May 14 X 300 sec SII & 20 X 180 sec OIII;

27 May 13 X 300 sec SII & 20 X 180 sec OIII.

Gain/Offset 200/50. Total integration time - 6.5 hours.

It’s times like this that really make this hobby so rewarding 😀!!
