M57 LLRRGB

hi guys,

actually this is my very fist attempt ever to utilize h-alpha data.
I have chosen M57 which I have recetnly imaged as an LRGB.

I was lucky to have one clear night for acquisition of H-alpha data.
3 hours h-alpha in 2x2 binning mode.
(I'd love to do that in 1x1 but weather is no partner here...)

as soon as weather improves, I'd like to do some more luminance with the 2x powermate and also I'd love to add much more h-alpha data.

data and all images (full size and an enlarged crop) are on my website.

I'd be greatful for any suggestions and comments on this one:

Sweet Dietmar!

Looks just great to me,as is.Some more data will surely help bring out the outer halo.

Great capture Dietmar.

Like we say in spanish... FANTASTICO!
Excellent detail, and you've captured stuff that normally does not show on most shots... great stuff Dietmar!

Thank you for sharing! 8)

Sweet image Dietmar. I like the way that you blended everything - it looks very natural. I think the 2x2 bin on the Ha is a smart choice. I have recently gathered data on this target - a 1x1 choice on the Ha would be some very long exposures indeed.

Wow. Really deep. I love all that background stuff that doesn't usually show up.
