Description

This is an image of NGC 3199 that I worked on in my Horizons collection of instructional videos as an example of narrowband image processing.  If it is not obvious, I am choosing to render NB imagery in ways that make sense to me. (It might *not* make sense to others... not certain! LOL). So this is my interpretation of NGC 3199. The main idea, among many other important ones I demonstrate, is that I am looking to show intermediate colors based on the channel strengths I choose. It appears to me that most NB imagery tends to be more two-hued dominant.

This data is courtesy of Mike Selby and I am grateful he has permitted AdamBlockStudios to make this very large data set available so members can follow along (or choose their own adventure). 

This image blends RGB stars taken from a 0.5m CDK (binned 2x2!) with the NB data taken through a 0.7m CDK.
