Description

A 2.0 h  HA image taken using a mono camera was used as the luminance channel for a 2.5h  OSC RGB image of NGC7380 at F 5.0, f = 1000 mm taken through a UHC filter.

Although the wizard is also relatively bright in O3 - especially near the centre -  the O3 signal appears spatially coincident with  HA.  In this particular image a 2h  O3 capture remained unused since the location of the O3 (H beta etc) seemed to be adequately captured by the UHC filtered RGB frames.  However the same data as used here were also used to make a narrowband image with the additional O3 data.  I am not sure which is the better and so have included both in the gallery.
