North American HA-RGB

All,
I'm back from a little R&R from work. A lot of very nice images posted this last week - Congrats to all.

Back in late June, I took some data on NGC7000 - a two frame mosaic. I have assembled it all and here is a posting.

I used the HA for Luminance and did not mix any HA into the color processing. The image shows a bit of reflection with NGC7000 along with the expected red HA emission line. I mostly see images of NGC7000 with the red pretty prominant - not as much with this image. I am color calibrated, but of course errors can creep in.

Anyway, please take a look at the full size image here:

Also, I have an earlier version of the Wall area here:

Great shot Jim ! so you replaced your luminance with Ha only no luminance used at all ,is that correct Jim ?

BEAUTIFUL !!!

And you have a fantastic website btw!!


Thank you for sharing - your work is truly inspiring!!!

Thanks everybody for your comments...

Louie,
Actaully, I make a luminance construction of the Ha data and the IR/UV block data. The later really only used to sharpen and enhance the dim stars in the Ha data.

It's a beauty Jim! Nice mosaic and nice use of both Ha and RGB.
Cheers,
Tyler
