Title: Clamshell Nebula SHO version
Post by: Carole on Jun 07, 2021, 15:38:48
Clamshell Nebula SHO with some RGB stars. Taken from Home

A lot of hard work went into producing this because the Oiii and Sii was so faint from my location. Had to use the Equalize function in Photoshop to bring out the faint stuff.  (Taught to me by Olly Penrice a year or so ago. 

Ha 13 x 900
Oiii 4 x 450binned
Sii 2 x 450 binned
I know I should have got more Oiii and Sii, but was so disappointed with so little data showing I gave up and went for HaRGB instead.
But today i decided to "have a go" and see what I could do with SHO and the equalize function.

Samyang 135mm lens @ f2.8 and Atik460EX Baader filters on HEQ5

This has been one tough target to process.

Thanks Roger, I am thinking it is a bit gawdy, I might have another go at it.
