Description

We got a few nights of clear skies and I was able to capture about 9 hrs each of Ha and OIII on the Crescent with the hope I would get the Soap Bubble Nebula. I did not try to pull up the Soap Bubble just processed the masters without special masking. I like the overall color of the image even though it does not look exactly like most HOO images. I did some combining and made kind of a master RGB to add the narrowband to. I did not try to fix the elongation in the stars on the left side guess that is going to be a thing I live with till I decide to buy a new scope.

Title: version32823

Description: This is another version of my Crescent and Soap Bubble. I used the newer tools in PixInsight. NoiseXTerm, BlurXTerm, and it is sharper, better detail I think and the stars are much nicer and tighter. It was also far easier to process to this result.
