Description

This image of the Orion and Running Man Nebulae is the culmination of 8 nights of effort collecting more than 25 hours of data in Hydrogen alpha and Oxygen III using two telescopes opperating in dual mode. I combined the channels using the Pixelmath tool in Pixinsight assigning Ha to Red, 0.3*OIII+0.3*HA to Green and OIII to Blue. The acquisition details are as follows:

Telescope - TS ED80 + ASI1600MM

23 September 2018 - 60 X 120s Ha at Gain 75

24 September 2018 - 54 X 120 s OIII at Gain 75

22 October 2018 - 60 X 120s Ha at Gain 75

24 October 2018 - 31 X 120 s Ha at Gain 75

26 October 2018 - 29 X 120s Ha at Gain 75

28 October 2018 - 16 X120s OIII at Gain 75

1 November 2018 - 76 X 120s OIII at Gain 75

2 November 2018 - 49 X 120s OIII at Gain 75

Telescope - TS Photoline 60mm FPL53 APO + ASI1600MC Cool

24 September 2018 - 76 X 120s Ha at Gain 75

29 September 2018 - 58 X 120s Ha at Gain 75
