Description

At the end of the year I'm cleaning my project folder and suddenly found one of my first tries of NB imaging with my mirrorless Sony camera.

Enjoy it!

PS: Let me add some background informations about the processing: As I use a RGB image sensor, I can only use the Red channel for Ha data. In this case the M42 nebula was totally saturated at 30s exposure time and I didn't take some short subs for the bright regions. But in the Green and Blue channels there's also some amount of Ha signal. These channels are a little bit sensitive for red light. I measured a factor of 1:23 (green) and 1:53 (blue channel) in relation to the red channel, see versions B and C. Finally I combined here the red and the blue channel for a HDR image.

As you can see here, that workaround works pretty well!
