Bubble Nebula in a H-alpha light
I have started again a new imaging project.
Image is exposed 7 hours so far, 21 x 1200s.
The RGB data in color image was imaged in 2007 with a QHY8 camera.
Image is gropped from large image and scaled down about 50%.
-
Processing work flow:
Image acquisition, MaxiDL v5.07.
Stacked and calibrated in CCDStack.
Deconvolution with a CCDSharp, 30 iterations.
Levels, curves and color combine in PS CS3.
-
Imeged in two nights, seeing varys between 4-2,5 FWHM
-
Telescope, Meade LX200 GPS 12" @ f4.65
Camera, QHY9
Guiding, SXV-AO @ 11Hz

NGC 6888 in National Geographic's "Daily Dozen"
My image of the "crescent Nebula", NGC6888, was selected in a "Daily Dozen" of National Geographic Magazine's webpage.

Pelican Project, Grande finale
Nebula in HST-palette, S-II = Red, H-alpha = Green and O-III = Blue

H-alpha + 20%S-II = Red, O-III = Green and O-III + 15% H-alpha = Blue

Now I have S-II (Ionized Sulfur) and O-III (Ionized Oxygen) channels, so making fullcolor image is possible

Camera QHY9, Optics Meade LX200 GPS 12" forced to @ f4.65 Guiding with SXV-AO active optics unit 11Hz Filters Baader H-alpha 7nm, 6h, 20 min subs Baader O-III 8,5nm 1h, 10 min. subs binned 3x3 S-II 1h 40, 10 min subs binned 3x3 - Note. a special technique of mine is used to balance weaker channels with Hydrogen alpha. Information about that tech. can be found HERE
