Cederblad-214 HaRGB

Hi All,

I finally was able to do the RGB portion of this nebula last night.
It was a tough processing job because the object being in a
different part of the sky gave me different gradients, etc.

Borg 76ED @ F6.6 piggybacked on a Celestron NexStar 11 GPS - SBIG ST-2000XM - RGB exposures of 40:20:30 at 1X1 binning - 3 hours of hydrogen alpha data - camera temperature at -15.00C - MaxIm/DL - Images Plus - Photoshop CS

The original H-alpha image is here:

Thanks very much Ivan. I thought it came out pretty hi-res with good color balance.

Great image Jose! The detail in the area left of center is superb.

Very nice, Jose! It's a very smooth image, which I seem to have troulbe processing out in my images. Any tips?

Rorshach (spelling?) moment: it looks like the head of some giant bug, or space monster! See the two bright stars that could go for eyes, and the vertical dust cloud between them that could be a mouth?
