hi guys,

recently I showed you my prelim. result on M27.
now I have some O3 in addtion to OSC and Ha.

what started last year in july, ended now...
when I still had my one shot color CCD (M25C) I collected some 3.8
hours of data in a night of not very good seeing last year..
in june and july 08 I acquired H-alpha and O3.
more than 12 hours total exposure time...phew - I think this gonna
become normal...

I think the image is deep in both, Ha and O3 now, and it is another
combination of different CCDs.
one shot and mono.

as for the sensitivity of CCD:
boy - that was a tremendous difference!
2.5 hours of O3 (2x2) showed much more data than 6 hours of Ha (2x2).
the SX H16 is very sensitive to green obviously, but way less
sensitive to red...unfortunately.
NP - it's just a matter of exp-time...*g*.
on the other hand - the 4021 chip is nice to handle, as it is qute
"calm"...
o.k. - end of speach - here we are:

Hi Dietmar,
That looks very nice. How did you combine the HA and O-III? Just two colors or what?

Really cool image Dietmar. I can't recall seeing a deeper M27.

Wow! That really is a nice image Diets. Great depth on this one.
