NGC7293 The Helix Nebula in Aquarius

[Fay]

Taken with Atik 314L, Ha 12x600, OIII 12x600 ED80. (will check the correct amount of subs tomorrow, as have just finished)

Aligned in Astroart, HA= L and RED, OIII= blue and Green (no time for SII) mountain in the way. Processed in Astroart & PSCS
It has taken 2 days to pocess my france images, will put the other two on tomorrow.

Looking good but red seems a bit bright ?

Very nice Fay!  I love the Helix.

Stars look sharp and round.  You've also brought out lots of faint wispiness.  Which scope did you use?

The only problem is that the Ha looks burnt out - is that something introduced during the processing or are the subs the same?

Mick, looking at other images, you can have what colour you want.

Mark, it is probably my processing, a new area for me, colour. ED80

[Rocket Pooch]

Very good Fay!  Worth the effort I feel.

[mickw]

Sorry Fay, I meant what Mark said

[Fay]

I will reprocess, when I have got my brain together. I may have over done the ha processing

[Jim]

Well done Fay, looks fantastic.

[Fay]

Thank you. I have decided to have another go using the Hubble Pallette...

[Fay]

How about these colours

[Tony G]

Fay, excellent images, but I do prefer the first one, as the nebulosity is a lot less harsh.

[MarkS]

I prefer the colours of the first.  But the second one does not have not burnt out Ha.

[Whitters]

Nice image Fay! Loads of wispy bits.

[The Thing]

Great image Fay. Looks like an idea for a make-up ad!
