Description

In my earlier pictures of IC 405 I could never really get good OIII data. I knew there was OIII data near the centre but didn't have a good idea of where relative to the Ha.

After searching for good pictures on Astrobin I found this awesome example by Gary Lopez:

I wanted to try to capture the 'blue wall' in SHO as well, as a test of my Baader OIII filter while maintaining the wispy Ha and SII details. The blue OIII seems to be 'below' the Ha and SII details in the end result.

I knew I had to get at least 10 hours in each channel again, and pepper the results with RGB stars.

Anyway, this is my shot at IC405. I hope you like it!
