I'm liking narrowband imaging 8)

This is a 40% preview size. The full-sized TIFF is enjoyable to see, but very hard to peruse at full size. wink

Enjoy,
Eric

Enrico,

Me likee! I would eventually like to get the full compiment of narrow band filters, after I get more experience maybe.

Nice tight stars for the long subs.

That band on the left side of the image..is that actually how the NAN looks, or is that some kind of a gradient?

Can't wait for more of these types of images...please keep posting them when you get a chance!

Keith

Eric,
Nice job!

I really like what the narrowband filters reveal on many objects.

I guess we will be seeing more narrowband stuff from you?
