IC1318b - HA and RGB

Here is an object a little less than 2 degrees Northwest of Sadr. I have attached a mid size thumbnail, but a full size image and exposure /processing details are at:

Scope was my Megrez II at f/4.6, Camera was the Artemis285.

Exposure time was 44 minutes

Good work Jim.

There's an awful lot of detail and color in there for 44 minutes, Jim, even in the large image. I liked your processing steps. It's not so easy to combine Ha and RGB to get a pleasing result.

Brian and Dan,
Thanks for the comments.

Dan,
Thanks for the comment about the RGB HA combination. I try to not disturbe the star colors from the RGB when applying the HA exposure and the red in the Nebula. Thanks for noticing.

Another beauty Jim.... smooth and detailed.... very nice!
