Description

This narrowband image was processed using the Zone method and augmented using Photoshop. Colour Assignments SII-Red, Ha-Green and OIII-Blue. I have posted another image using a different colour assignment. The image used a stack of 16 300s Ha exposures at Bin 1 with an additional 12 x 300s subs at Bin 2 for the SII and OIII filters. The Ha data doubled for the Luminosity channel. The data was collected over 3 nights using iTelescope T14 at May Hill Mexico. This was my first attempt at narrowband imaging and processing.
