Description

Here's LBN1052 or the dolphin nebula. This was processed as HOO using blended channnels combination in Pixinsight. I used pixel math with the green channel processed with 25% Ha + 75% O3. Pretty happy with the end result. Only issue is I have the dreaded microlensing effect in the brightest star which is common with the ZWO1600 camera.

Image details:

44 x 240s x Ha at Gain 139

36 x 180s x O3 at Gain 139

35 x Flats and Flat Darks for each channel

Equipment:

Skywatcher Esprit 100
