Description

This is my second attempt at NGC 7538 and this time I tried for a more natural look, but still using narrowband filters. I divided like color channels with the following:

Red: Ha (80%) and SII (20%)

Green: OIII: (100%)

Green: OIII: (85%) and Ha (15%)

I also tried a vertical rotation - I like this view better.

All of the data was captured in October, 2019.

Astronomik Ha: 135x240" (gain: 139, offset: 21)

Astronomik OIII: 86x240" (gain: 75, offset: 15)

Astronomik Ha: 105x240" (gain: 139, offset: 21)

Integration: 21.73 hours
