Description

When I recently posted an RGB image of this target on Astrobin I noticed that Jim Matzger in Arizona posted a Ha image of the same target virtually simultaneously. I thought that these images would really do much better being together and asked Jim if we could collaborate on this and we exchanged data. Here is my version of the HaRGB image form our collective Transatlantic Swedish - Arizona efforts. My RGB data is from an ES 5"ED refractor on an EQ8 mount and acquired with a Canon 60Da (47x480" , ISO 1600). Jim's data is from an AP 5" Starfire refractor on an AP 1100 mount acquired with a QSI 690WSG with Astrodon 3nm Ha filter (5 x 600" + 13 x 1800" bin 2x2). All processing in Photoshop CS5.
