Yep,NGC6888 Ha,OIII,OIII

Hello group,

After a frustrating experience with dew and how it can ruin your night when your using an SCT,I was able to capture some OIII data with my new,homemade dewshield equiped 12" Meade ACF tube. I collected 25x600x OIII to go with the 12x600s of Ha I shot earlier. Still need to get the collimation dialed in better on this scope but I am pretty happy with it so far.

I'm not sure what else to do with this image,maybe you all could give me some suggestions,more data would probably help but nice nights have been scarce for the last few monthes

Here's the image and details;

Thanks for looking your comments/critiques and suggestions welcomed,

Here's a version using an average of the Ha+OIII for the Green channel.

I think I actually like this one better,makes me want to get an SII filter though!

Hi Jason,

Your image looks great to me. I've been thinking about adding the O(III) and S(II) narrow band filters as well. I have an ST-10XME on an NP-101 and I find that it can sometimes be quite difficult to find a guide star with the Ha filter in place. I'm looking at getting a separate guide scope/chip setup before I take the plunge into narrowband.

cheers,

Jeff
