Abell 21, Sh2-274, the "Medusa Nebula", Start of the new project.
Ones again, this target is very low for me, at highest elevation in South, it was about 35 degrees and after a three hours, the altitude was only a 25 degrees.
I managed to get only one 20min frame of O-III, binned 3x3, but there was some signal, so I was able to make the "preview" image as a color one. (Red=H-a, Green=O-III and Blue=80%O-III + 20%H-a)
I'll continue with this target as soon as the weather cooperates againg.
Processing work flow:
Image acquisition, MaxiDL v5.07.
Stacked and calibrated in CCDStack.
Levels, curves and color combine in PS CS3.
