M8, the "Lagoon nebula" in H-alphaLR(H-alpha)GB composition
GB.jpg)
H-alpha boosted LRGB image of M8.
H-alpha emission of ionized Hydrogen is mixed to a LRGB image.
50% H-a to Red channel in "lighten" mode and 33% H-alpha mixed to a luminance channel.
The telescope and technical information:
16" RCOS ja Apogee U9000 camera.
LRGB combo.
Luminance 7x300s., Dark and Flat calibrated.
H-alpha 4x1200s, Dark and Flat calibrated.
Red 5x300s, Dark calibrated
Green 5x300s, Dark calibrated
Blue 5x300s, Dark calibrated
Raw data is shared with Petri Kehusmaa and J-P Metsavainio
Processing workflow:
Image acquisition, MaxiDL v4.xxx
Stacked and calibrated in CCDStack.
Deconvolution with a CCDSharp, 30 iterations
Levels, curves and color combine in PS CS3.
Different color versions:
Pure LRGB-composition.
H-alpha
Natural color composition from the emission of ionized elements, R=80%Hydrogen+20%Sulfur, G=100%Oxygen and B=85%Oxygen+15%Hydrogen to compensate otherwise missing H-beta emission.
This composition is very close to a visual spectrum.
HST-palette from the emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen

M8, the "Lagoon nebula", as an anaglyph Red/Cyan 3D
You'll need Red/Cyan Eyeglasses to be able to see this
image right.
Note, if you have a Red and Blue filters, you can use
them! Red goes to Left eye.
