IC410 Bicolor

Hi all,

Well,I had some decent sky last night,other than the Moon being very bright and near my target that is!I wanted to shoot some deep RGB for the Ha I already had on this but I have learned my lesson more than once on shooting color with the Moon out.

I decided to shoot OIII on it,I was suprised by just how much OIII there is here,the signal was quite strong!
I also learned the OIII filter is not quite as effective as blocking moon glow as the Ha,I ended up with a minor gradient problem but it was not to hard to deal with.


Since I don't have a SII filter yet I made a synthetic green by adding 28% of my Ha data to the OIII to create this Bicolor.

I have another version in the works but I like how this one came out.What do you think?

This is 20x600s with an Astrodon 6nm Ha and 38x600s with an Astrodon OIII filter. Image is resized to 60% and trimmed just a bit around the edges.

Taken with my TMB115 at F7 and ST10xme.

Thanks for having a look,

Really nice shot Jason. Great job with the processing. The added detail with the narrowband imaging always impresses me. Someday I'll have to swap my OSC for a monochrome with filters. I get so little time to image though. My dome is located at my cottage (much darker skies) which is exactly one hour from my house. I get up there maybe one day a week if the sky permits. What type of observatory do you have?

Very nice Jason !well done.

That is a nice color combination. Good amount of time on them too.
