First attempt at Bubble Nebula

Posted By Thomas V Davis
Here it is with Ha data added. It really brings out the nebulosity. The Bubble almost looks 3D in a way.

(HaR)RGB (120,60):60:60:60 min. RGB bin x 2

Cheers,

H-alpha view of Pelican Nebula -- wide and narrow

Posted By Thomas V Davis
Here's the narrow FOV. The processing has been pushed too far but still fun none the less:

Thanks for the comments. I dismantled my AP setup this week and have placed a BRC-250/AP105EDF combo on the mount. I am finally getting a FLI PDF to go on the BRC so it's time....

It will probably take a while to overcome the learning curve. I'll post if I get anything descent. Wish me luck........

Pinwheel is finally done!!

Posted By Thomas V Davis
Excellent detail and processing. It does not appear over processed(which is easiy done on this object).

North America and Pelican Wide Field Image

Posted By Thomas V Davis
Very nice FOV. Mike, might I suggest that you reprocess but use only the Red frames for the red in the RGB sequence, but continue to use the HaR for the Lum. Your use of the Ha in place of the R in the RGB sequence has greatly over powered the G and B and thus makes the overall image too red. This is only my opinion however. The too powerful red color has washed out some of the fine detail.

Give it a try and repost. I'd love to see it.
