Description

I wanted to improve the previous RGB image of the Dumbbells Nebula and capture the outer shell of this bright Planetary Nebula. I used 900sec exposures in Ha and O3, a total of 17.5 hours. Separate processing and masking of the two filters with HDRM, allowed the outer shell to remain visible, while unveiling the structural details of the core. Blending the two channels in HaO3O3 pallet and using SCNR on the green color provided a color balanced image, very similar to the RGB image. Finally, I added the RGB stars from the previous RGB image.
