Description

Narrowband imaging opens a wonderful door!

Last year I set up a pillar on the backyard, and in a couple of september nights from the backyard/remotely from inside home I managed to put together 6 hours of h-alpha, with the mount having a good day!!. During the following spell of stable weather I managed to capture OIII and SII, and later on from a dark place I collected RGB. I am on go with processing these channels, and hopefully soon I will be able to get back with them, but for the time being I am very happy with this h-alpha result.

Besides, I also think that considering the "ghosty" look of the Trunk, a B&W image fits very good with the "mood" of the object.

CS, Guillermo
