NGC1763

NGC1763
A part of the Large Magellanic cloud . This is a huge step in learning and improvement. Here is 10 hours each narrow band filter S Ha O and and 30 shot each RGB. Throw stars from narrowband use the stars from RGB as they are more natural looking and consistent. Remember this is all coming from a Mono camera and a filters.

Its a longer take and a lot longer edit to get the final result but its way better than trying to clean the Narrow band stars, in total 6 nights work. This in the Hubble pallet of S Ha O. In this format of RGB Red is Sulphur Green is Ha and Blue is O.

QHY183M -10c 60 shots 5 min each filter over five nights .. one night 30 shots each RGB 1 min exposure.

Ko I did set out to take a quality image I knew it was no easy point and shoot and would take some learning. This is what I have been working to to get this type of image and the gear to take it. It is a lot of work to get the result but I think the result speaks for itself. Next Saturday Is our astro Fest once again I am on the field as A live exhibit but I will have My Camera with me as well.. . Many thanks I think all the work has been worth in to see a result like this..

You bring the heavens alive to us Steve. Great colours here and all pin sharp as is your normal now. A great deal of work to make such images but Nasa have the same problems I guess. Well done again.

Best Wishes. Herb

Thank you, Herb I had to stop going any further as I am once again live exhibit at astro fest this year Saturday 9th of November. It is case of prepare an image and have the edited version so people can see it fully finished while also seeing the camera result on the tablet screen. I will be remotely outside the tent while two mounts inside the tent different targets. Yes my Camera and Tripod will be with me as well so you will see a few images , this year will be clear skies.

Editing is the part that's the killer there is no 10 sec edit to bring out all the detail, but I believe its worth the time to see the result. I am a real beginner in narrow band thats for sure I have three very different shot edited of the same thing just how they are combined.
