Title: NGC 6960 Veil in Cygnus Ha, OIII
Post by: Fay on Aug 24, 2009, 15:41:20
13x 480 Ha/red    10x480 OIII/ green and blue, Atik 314L,  WO ZS66
Chislehurst 14809

Still need practice with colours, but better than my first attempt

That looks really good Fay.  With only two channels to play with star colours are always going to be a pain to deal with !  Where's the other channel ?

Well Robert, I cannot show you my oriiginal using the SII. It was so garish & not so sharp. Chris suggested this method & it is a lot better than the last one.Thanks a lot Daniel, new toys to play with!!!!!

That's looking really good Fay.  I love the wispy colours.

A bit more data would make that look stunning.
