Description

No astro darkness up here at 60° N until late August, so I am keeping my processing fingers busy with data from remote telescopes in the southern hemisphere. This is Ha, Sii and Oiii data from Telescope Live at the El Sauce hosting facility at 1500m elevation in Río Hurtado, Coquimbo Region, Chile. Ha is 6 x 10 minm, Sii is 6 x 10 min, and Oiii is 6 x 10 min.

I started off with Ha in the red channel, Sii in green, and Oiii in blue, but then tweaked the colours quite a bit in PS towards less green and maybe a bit RGB like. For a while it looked like a fruit sallad and maybe it still does ;-)
