Description

Exploring methods of combining narrowband and RGB imagery. In this case, I decided to use the RGB for star color only, removing (mostly) the stars from the Ha and OIII data. I'm enjoying imaging at 0.7 arc-sec/pixel; allows me to see detail in the veil I've never noticed before, especially some of the blue/teal streamers. In addition to the 2.8 hours of Ha and OIII, the RGB was 90 frames of 30 sec. each. I cropped about 25% of the image due to the overwhelming background stars and to focus on the nebulosity.
