Description

First project combing Altair Hypercam 24CFX with Altair dual band Ha Oiii filter. Shot over 3 nights on a Celestron (non Edge) C8 with the Mark III Starizona Corrector, from West Oxfordshire. 30 April, 5, 8 May. Calibrated with Darks, Flats and Dark Flats. Gain 1, Dark 150. 

The channels for Ha and Oiii were extracted using the APP tab 0 tools, and the two layers were then re-aligned to remove some CA effects from the target being low in elevation. Starnet was used to isolate star and nebula layers, and each of Ha and Oiii were processed separately.
