finally got some core data - 47 Tuc

Posted By Jason Boyce

Tom,

That looks great!The shorter exposures did much to resolve into the core.
The variety of star colors along with the shear number of them, topped of with the massive globular make this a very pretty image to look at.

Rescue M63

Posted By Jason Boyce

Hi Charles,

Not a bad start there.
I have shot M63 on 4 occasions and have always had lots of problems with my color.Some good luminance I had was lost when I made a computer swap last year.I think this one is tough!

Hope you get your power back soon,



Jason

This 3rd image I used Steve Cannistras method to create the Green channel.

I ran into clipping on the shadows of the green with this one but it has colors a bit more like what I was expecting,not quite the Red I was hoping for.

Ok,I have one more,promise it's the last one wink

This time I created a synthetic Blue channel,this gave me more of the Red I was hoping for.I then added the Ha back in as Luminance so I guess this one is Ha,Ha,OIII,Sb.

I like this one the best so far,it reminds me of a Ha,RGB image.

Thanks for looking at all these grin

Veil in Ha & OIII

Posted By Jason Boyce

Cal,

I think thats a great first light!
The color seems a bit off compared to what I usually see but it,s very close.Maybe off to Cyan a little?
