Title: Pleiades with colour added...
Post by: RobertM on Jan 21, 2009, 21:20:44
This is the Pleiades image I posted a while back with 30 x 1min of each HaGB.  It's a bit noisy but I had to abort this to finish off the Rosette so don't complain about it.  Also there was a little camera rotation problem so you'll see lines at the sides but hopefully they aren't too obvious.

I have just seen this, Robert. I remember you doing the colour & it has come out very well.

Stunning detail in that nebulosity - I love it!

I'm blowed if I can see any camera rotation or lines.

Robert, you say you have added colour, are you saying you have artificially added colour that wasn't captured (i.e. in photoshop), or are you saying you have added some coloured frames of the image that you did separately and have now added (I'm still trying to get my head around what you guys are doing before I take the next step).

Very nice Robert as usual. Not quite as smooth as your other images but that's obviously down to the smaller number of frames. Tons of nebulosity & very nice FOV - you got the whole thing in... :-)

Nice one,  John

I really should get some more data for this but it'll have to wait till next year now, there are too many other faint nebulae out there crying out to have their photo done!

Carole, all the colour data was captured, none of it was artificial.
