Description

I have always wanted to capture an image of M27 but my location at home makes it difficult with houses and trees in the way. Earlier this year I joined iTelescope with the aim of being able to capture those targets not accessible from home or the UK.

This is one such image. Captured on Friday 4th September from the Astrocamp observatory in Nerpio, Spain using a 12.5 inch Planewave corrected Dall-Kirkham Astrograph and SBIG Universal camera (equipment I can only dream about).

15 x 300s Ha Bin 1x1

14 x 300s Oiii Bin 1x1

Processed in PixInsight. This colour was achieved using the following combinations in Pixelmath;

R channel - 100% Ha

G channel - 50% Ha + 50% Oiii

B channel - 100% Oiii
