Description

The Tadpoles in Bi-colour

I have finally managed to collect sufficient OIII data to produce my bi-colour version of 'The Tadpoles', a nebulous region in Auriga. This has not been an easy task as the skies have been most unhelpful and it has taken several nights for each channel often gaining less than 5 subframes at a time! The majority of the Ha was captured under moonlit conditions where the very narrow bandwidth came in very useful. I still have work to do on the stars but will wait now until I have some SII data to complete an HST palette version.
