I wonder if the clouds will hold off, my kit is birring away in the observatory!!!!

I certainly hope it's not burring away for nothing !!!

Na seems ok



That's the medium size image, if only there was no moon, light pollution or clouds The Kit seems ok though.

Lovely detail in those twisty filaments!  Overall it appears a bit too red but I guess you haven't finished the processing.

Nice one.

Nice, I assume it's the DSLR on the ED80 or is it the Newt ?

Atik 314L & ED80, it the skies were not that clear last night, so again another failed attempt, I'll fix the colours later.

Did you do luminance or use the synthesised Sii approach to get the star colours correct ?

Hi,

Oh that was just chucking it together in photoshop and manually mixing, I'm just reprocessing it all in AIP and I will use Ha = R, O3 = B & then either use O3 for G, or average all files for a Blue, then I will just pull it together in Photoshop and try to get the main star white blue, then it should look ok. 

The only issue is the Ha files are great, but it got a bit cloudy for the O3, so I'm working on them.

Looks like it has good promise if that was the chucked together version - I thought it had more detail hidden in there.  Will have to dig the O3 out of the cupboard myself.
