Description

It was interesting to see how the STC- Duo Narrowband worked on this object when imaged with a QHY168C OSC. All color channels were strongly present with the green being stronger than the blue. Not really surprising when you look at the spectral makeup of the OIII component. It is to my eye 60+% green. Typically when using a OIII filter with a mono camera, the result although a mixture of green and blue, is assigned to the blue and green channels in equal proportions. Hope you like it. It took me a bit to get used to it.
