Pelican Nebula, start of the project
So far, not a very lucky start.
I have spend four nights with this target and the result is only five 20min. frames.
The see is open and it keeps sending clouds of mist night after a night.

Image is kind of noisy, doe too few light frames, but I'll post it here to wait more to come.

NGC 6888, deconvolution test
A fellow astro imager, Neil Fleming, in Yahoo group "astro_narrowband"
give me an idea about using more deconvolution algorithm to this image.
Thanks a lot Neil!
-
After testing several softwares, I found CCDSharp giving me best resul in this case.
( CCDSharp is a freeware from Sbig )
33 iterations of Lucy-Richardson deconvolution.
The Stars came out just fine, so no separate processing for them.
Final result was way more better than I was expecting!

You can compare those images to a previous ones, HERE in a HST-plalette and HERE in a Natural colors.
Imaging details can be found behind the links too.

NGC 6888 in HST-palette
Last night I got S-II (ionized Sulfur) for the NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula.
Now it was possible to compose a HST version (Hubble Space Telescope palette).

Filters
Baader H-alpha 7nm, 4.5h 20min subs

Note. a special technique of mine is used to balance weaker channels with Hydrogen alpha.
Information about that tech. can be found HERE
