Description

This photo of the Horsehead and Flame nebulae was my first foray into narrowband imaging. On two very cold nights this week, I shot the pair through duo-band, Ha and OIII filters and then blended them together in PS. I used a color camera (ASI1294) for all three filters.

Spicing in Ha and OIII enhanced details in the image.

55 subs of 180 seconds with Optolong L-Enhance 
20 subs of 300 seconds with Zwo Ha
22 subs of 300 seconds with Zwo OIII

I can see how monochrome with LTGB and narrowband filters can be really helpful in defeating light pollution.
