IC410 Ha

Hi all,

I have imaged this one once before with a much narrower FOV so thought I would give it try with a wider field setup.

Not the best of nights,lots of clouds passing through and I ended throwing out nearly half of the subs :C
I was able to save 20 of the 38 I took.

This is just the Ha for now,I hope to get color for it soon however after a very nice October it looks like winter is arriving in November.

So this is 20x600s through an Astrodon 6nm Ha filter with the TMB115 at F7 with ST10xme.
Resized to 60%

I tried to process this so it ended up looking like it has some depth to it,not sure if I accomplished that or not.What do you think?

Thanks for having a look,your comments and suggestions are always appreciated.


Jason

Wow. I thought you shot this with something longer than a TMB 115! I like it! Nice tight stars (I thought this was an RC!), good details on the tadpoles.... nice job!

Jason,
Cool image. I think you did capture an element of depth in the varying intensities of the signal in the nebulosity. I imagine it may be hard to preserve this with the color unless you get a nice variation in the color tone as well from some deep RGBs.

The image looks great Jason! Nice detail and tone. I always like my results on this object when shooting Ha and or L, but have never been happy with my color versions. Good luck on those, when you get some clear skies. I am stuck with a new scope and clouds in the forecast through Thursday at least. Dang!
