Description

This SHO image of the tadpoles in IC 410 was acquired using a color camera. It is my first try to combined data from a dual-narrowband filter and a SII-Filter. 

For image processing, I assigned the red and blue channels, from the dual-narrowband image and the red channel from the [SII] image to R, G and B according to the Hubble palette. The [SII] channel was much noisier and had larger stars than the [OIII] channel. This surprised me, since Ha is right "next door" in the spectrum and usually has tight stars. Therefore, I first had to address noise and star size in the [SII] data first, before I could successfully combine the three channels into one RGB image.
