Description

First attempt at a narrowband image after having moved up from DSLR acquisition. Ha/SII/OIII data acquired over two nights.

First light for lots of equipment: ASI1600MM Pro, ASI120MM, OAG, Filter Wheel, Astrodon Filters, Minix PC (remotely operated using iPad as screen), APT, PHD2. So more a proof of concept, rather than trying to nail the definitive image. I like it though!

Stacked and processed in Pixinsight.

Used the following colour combination blend, using PixelMath:

R= Ha + 24% SII

G= OIII

B= OIII + 15% Ha
