Description

This was an experiment to use an OSC camera (Altair Astro Hypercam 269c) to fully create the narrowband Hubble palette. Two sets of colour photos were taken with the IDAS NB2 (Ha + Oiii) and NB3 (Sii+Oiii) filters, and the Ha, Oiii and Sii channels extracted in Astro Pixel Processor. These were recombined in Pixinsight with the mapping SHO -> RGB. The 2SC method allows three genuine narrowband channels to be extracted reasonably efficiently, especially with double the amount of the often fainter Oiii data being gathered automatically. 20 images with each filter were taken.
