NGC281 Tri-Color Narrow Band

Floyd,
That's a nice image. It is interesting to see the different pallette (Different that is from Hubble). Did you do a version in Hubble?. It would be interesting to see. I tried switching red and green, but it did not work well for me.

Charlie,
Its looking pretty good. I agree with others - it would be interesting to see the Ha data added.

Charles, congrats. It always feels nice to understand the cause of an annoying issue. Better yet when you have a fix for it.

FWIW, I found these little 66's fit the 3" TV clamshell if you also include some thin flocking felt on one half of the clamshell. YMMV

Tom, I looked up the TV ring - looks good. I had actually already picked up a set of 3 inch rings from Scopestuff. They fit pretty nice as is. I think they will be OK for the ZS66 - its pretty lightweight.
