Description

Another project using remote telescopes. I decided to try it because in the last 5 years it has been impossible for me to use my telescope for work and personal commitments (I also have dozens of subjects still to be processed).

My plan is to use the plan-40 payed plan with subjects that are impossible to acquire with my setup and from my location (south Italy), with a minimum of imaging time (max 1 h for each subject, mainly I use Moon discount offered by Itelescope imaging with narrowband filters).

Hubble Palette composition of 4 wide field images for each filter from telescope T12 (Australia) for the colors (https://www.astrobin.com/5dfiqg/?nc=user) and 7 images acquired in Ha with Telescope 33 used as Luminance. The latter are affected by out of focus partially recovered by deconvolution. An interesting project that give me quite good results.

LRGB composition from these data:

HA=7 300 sec, Bin 1x1 Used as Luminance

HA. OIII, SII=4x300s Bin1x1 each, Mapped in Hubble Palette usared as RGB
