Since i didn't have narrow band filters and since i always love to see wonderful hubble palette images here on astrobin i tried this time to do something new.
I found on web a very interesting
tutorial from Simon Tod for making this kind of images with an OSC. Simon's tutorial is based on Pixinsight but i use only photoshop to process my images so i tried to do it anyway. I have to admit that was really difficult and i needed more than 3 days of work to do it with PS but patience is something that i still have (maybe because i'm a fisherman !?), with Pixinsight you can do it in some hour ... that is a big difference but i think that it is possible to get similar results even in photoshop.
I'm not so happy with sharpness and this is caused from an old mirror that it need to be recoated ... mine is a 30 aged scope so i let you imaging the actual condition.
The problem in this hobby is that when you reach some good results you are get involved to do more better but this means a lot of money to spent for new instrumentation. I see often ugly pictures made with very expensive instrumentations and this push me to do the best with my "poorly" gear.
The Experience, luckly, is something that you cannot buy, it needs time and actually i never see a timeshop in this little planet ... maybe in some exoplanet you could buy it ... so let's discover this shop boys!
Sorry i was forgot that maybe is cheaper to buy new instrumentation!!
