NGC7000 NB combined in Mono

Hi,
I decided to see what I could do with the HA-OIII-SII data combined as a Monochrome, to find out how much detail I could extract. I found that by then making in RGB and applying Photo Filters, it seemed to define the data better with added contrast.
Here is the results of these efforts.

Nicely Done Floyd. It makes sense when you think about it. I do wonder that when rendering RGB to monochrome, the Red, Green, and Blue get different monochrome intensities to help distinguish feature. In your combine did you try to assign a lower intensity the the OIII compared to the Ha?

Another excellent image Floyd.

Can you give some exposure information?

By the way, I just received my TCF-S - I'm waiting on the adaptor to mount it on my NP-101 to try it out. Turns out that I have to completely remove the stock focuser to mount this bad boy.

cheers,

Jeff

Nice one Floyd. That is an interesting technique that sure does bring out the details.
Cheers,

Interesting technique, Floyd! Nice job! Any plans to do this in tri-color?
