Nice Chris, how many subs etc? Did you take any the weekend?

I did this last week, but only 6x600, planning on adding to it, have not posted it.

Chris,  how did you blend the colours ?

Rocket Pooch

Hi,

Back from the land of the sheep.

Fay the image was 6x600sec Ha then 6x240sec Red and Blue filters.

I processed and aligned then in AIP, then brought the FITS into Photoshop I did an RGB with Ha being the red.

Couple of tips, I applied a Median filters to the RGB so the noise was reduced.  Other than that not a lot else, on my large monitor I prefer less colour and more Ha, but thats me, I thought I'd put these colours up because I like the blue stars :-)

Thanks Chris.  I rather like the enhanced star colour too, it's not very natural but makes a great image.

Fay,

I have added the Ha properly so you can see the clouds


Fay

very nice indeed , Chris. I am out of action at the moment due to you know what & the light evenings.

Will have a short go at Moon & then no more until back from USA.
